A man was hospitalized with four gunshot wounds after he was shot outside an Altadena liquor store, then found inside a car a short distance away in Pasadena on Friday night, authorities said.

The shooting took place about 10 p.m. outside Johnie Drawn liquor store at Fair Oaks Avenue and Altadena street.

Deputies responded to reports of gunfire when they discovered spent bullet casings and a blood trail in the parking lot of the market, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Lt. Chad Smeltzer said. But no victims were at the scene.

A short time later, police in Pasadena responded to a wounded man who was sitting as a passenger in a car at Fair Oaks Avenue and California Boulevard, just outside of Huntington Hospital, about four miles south of the Altadena shooting scene, Pasadena police Lt. Anthony Russo said.

The victim, described as a man in his 20s, was hospitalized for treatment, the lieutenant said. He was expected to survive.

Police soon learned the victim was connected to the Altadena shooting, according to Russo.

Smeltzer said the victim reported hearing gunshots as he was exiting the liquor store. He was shot four times.

A white car was seen in the area at the time and may be connected to the attack, he said.

No further details were available.

Anyone with information can reach the Sheriff’s Altadena Station at 626-798-1131. Tips may also be submitted anonymously to L.A. Regional Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477.
