Man and Woman Shot Sunday Night at Same Location as Earlier Victim-Less “Shots Fired” Incident

A man and a woman were both shot shortly before midnight on Sunday in the same Northwest Pasadena location where a victim-less shooting had occurred less than 24 hours earlier.

Police were tight-lipped early Monday, saying only that the two victims remain alive and stable in a local hospital.

Pasadena Police Lt. Jesse Carrillo said the female victim was critically wounded, according to KTLA news.

Officers originally responded to a “shots fired” in the area of  the 100 block of West Washington Boulevard. When they arrived, they found the two victims along Washington between El Sereno Avenue and Navarro Avenue, police said.

Police said the relationship between the two victims is not known and the investigation is continuing.

There is no suspect information.

Earlier Sunday morning at about 2:20 a.m. police had been at the same location also for a report of “shots fired” which turned up a car with a window blown out by gunfire and shell casings from two different guns.

In that earlier incident, Lt. John Mercado said arriving officers initially could not find any evidence of a shooting.

“Most of those callers were putting the noise coming from Washington and Navarro,” Mercado said. “Our officers, when they arrived on scene, initially they were unable to locate any evidence of anything happening. No victims, no witnesses flagging them down on the street, and they didn’t find any physical evidence.”

The officers ultimately were able to call one of the people who reported the incident originally, and that witness provided the officers on scene with more specific information that led the officers to locating two sets of shell casings, one of them being from a 9-mm handgun, and one being from a 32-caliber bullet, Mercado said.

The officers also found a vehicle with the rear window shot out, but didn’t find any victims or additional witnesses.

“So we don’t know if it was two people shooting at each other, or if it was two people in concert shooting at somebody else,” Mercado said.

It is not known if this earlier shooting is related to the shooting of the man and woman at the same location at midnight Sunday.
