After yielding to the officers, Andy Gomez, 35, of Los Angeles, identified to be a gang member, and a female occupant became uncooperative. They were eventually removed from the vehicle.

Both occupants were arrested for various gun, narcotics, and identity theft charges.

In the late hours of June 8, 2024, patrol officers were conducting proactive patrol in the area of Western and Lake due to recent gang related graffiti.
