Police sought the public’s help Thursday and offered a hefty reward for information leading to two attempted murder suspects who shot a man during an aborted robbery before fleeing the scene in a dark-colored sedan last year near Hollywood.
The shooting occurred around 2:30 a.m. April 16, 2022, when the victim was followed after leaving Hyde Sunset Kitchen + Cocktails in the 8100 block of Sunset Boulevard, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
When the victim reached his vehicle, two armed suspects attempted to rob him, which resulted in the victim being shot at before the men got into a car and fled the scene, police said. Nothing was taken from the victim.
Police said the suspects fled in a vehicle presumed to be a dark-colored 2004-2012 BMW 3-Series with no front license plate, five-spoke wheels and a damaged passenger-side tail light.
Detectives have offered a $50,000 reward leading to the perpetrators’ identity, arrest, and conviction.
Anyone with information was urged to contact LAPD Robbery Homicide Division Detective Dupree or Detective Casalicchio at 213-486-6890. Tipsters who prefer to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477. During non-business hours or weekends, calls should be directed to 877-527-3247.
