subjects and they got into a fight. He claimed that during the fight, he was
shot and he ran away. He was then taken to a hospital by friends. The

at the waist, and he shot himself. A complaint for filing a false police report
and carrying a concealed weapon will be filed with the court.
Shooting
Investigation
On Sunday, March 4, 2012, at approximately 9:00 p.m., Monrovia Police Officers responded to the area of California
and Cypress regarding a shooting investigation.
The investigation revealed a male adult victim was
backing his vehicle from a residential driveway with his three year old son in
the backseat. A gray sedan occupied by at least three male Hispanics suddenly
pulled up and stopped in the roadway. The right front passenger of the gray
sedan exited the vehicle and fired approximately six shots, striking the driver
side of the victim's vehicle. The "shooter" returned to the
gray sedan and the vehicle fled from the area at a high rate of speed. The
"shooter" is described as a male Hispanic wearing a blue baseball

continuing.
Loud Music
Disturbance / Resisting and Delaying a Peace Officer - Suspect Arrested
On March 4 at 11:13 p.m., officers responded to a residence in the 500 block of South Shamrock regarding a loud
music disturbance. When they arrived, an intoxicated guest at the residence
answered the door. The officers saw a 4-year-old boy approach the front door
and immediately became concerned for the child's safety, because there did not
appear to be a sober adult present to properly care for the child. The officers
asked to speak with the child's parents, but the subject refused to answer them
and attempted to close the door. Officers prevented the subject from closing
the door. The subject continued to resist and struggled with the officers, so
the officers arrested him without further incident. The officers eventually
located the child's parents in the residence, who were sober enough to properly
care for the child. The residents were also advised regarding the loud music.
