Police pulled two illegal guns from felons off Pasadena’s streets over six hours on Friday night and Saturday morning.

Lt. Derek Locklin reported the first incident occurred on Friday at 9:38 p.m. when officers saw a group of men standing in the street near Woodbury Road and Raymond Avenue. After the group was almost struck by a car, the officers approached the group. The men fled.

Officers chased one of the men who fled and, during the foot pursuit, the man slipped and fell as he allegedly attempted to discard a firearm he had been carrying.
Locklin said the man was a felon and a known gang member. He was arrested, and officers located the loaded weapon — a Springfield 9 mm with an 18-round magazine.

The suspect’s name is Keondre Simmons, age 32, a known gang member from Pomona, according to Locklin.

The second incident occurred on Saturday at 3:26 a.m. when officers reportedly saw a vehicle that reportedly had no license plates and pulled over the car in the vicinity of Altadena Drive and Maple Street.

The car had two men inside, according to Locklin.

Locklin said that the men were ordered to get out of the car and subjected to a pat down search, during which officers found a 9 mm ghost gun in the passenger’s waistband.

The passenger’s gun allegedly had a 22-round magazine attached and was loaded.

Arrested was felon Kevin Bullock, age 22, from La Verne, Locklin said. The driver, who was detained, was released and not arrested.

The Pasadena Police Department urges anyone with information about illegal guns to contact them at (626) 744-4241.
