At 9:00 pm on Sunday May 4th, four friends and family members were standing in front of their home in the 13200 block of Oval Drive when a white Ford Probe with two gang type occupants pulled up next to the house. The passenger of the vehicle then asked the residents “where they were from,” implying a gang affiliation. After the residents failed to reciprocate, the passenger began to fire four rounds from a small caliber handgun at all four of the residents. One of the rounds struck the abdomen of the 19-year-old victim, Yehuri Rodriguez and he was later transported to a local hospital where he immediately underwent surgery. Rodriguez is currently in stable condition and is expected to survive. While unconfirmed, Detectives are exploring gang rivalry as a possible motivation for the shooting.
Anyone with information pertaining to this crime is urged to contact the Whittier Police Department's Detective Bureau by calling (562) 945-8250.
