A brutal shooting at a San Pedro bar claimed the life of a 33-year-old man and wounded two others early Saturday morning. The LAPD is on a manhunt for a woman believed to be responsible for the deadly incident, which unfolded around 12:15 a.m. at the local spot Machista, situated at the intersection of Pacific Avenue and West 10th Street. "There was a physical altercation inside the bar before the shooting," an LAPD spokesperson said in a statement obtained by KTLA. The suspect reportedly fired multiple rounds, hitting three patrons in the barrage of gunfire.
In a tragic turn of events, family members and the L.A. County Medical Examiner have identified the deceased victim as Tyrone Tyars. According to LAPD Newsroom, two survivors of the shooting—a 35-year-old woman and a 44-year-old man—were transported to local hospitals and are expected to eventually fully recover from their injuries.
The aftermath of the shootout prompted LAPD officers to quickly establish a perimeter in hopes of capturing the shooter, described by authorities as a Hispanic female between the ages of 20 to 30. As of the latest reports, she has evaded law enforcement and her whereabouts remain unknown. The nature of the relationship, if any, between the suspect and the victims is still unclear amidst the ongoing investigation.
Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics were dispatched swiftly to the scene, providing medical aid to the victims before transferring them to the hospital for further treatment. LAPD’s South Bureau Homicide detectives are urging anyone with additional information to come forward. Those willing to offer tips can directly reach out to South Bureau Homicide Division detectives or choose to remain anonymous by calling the L.A. Regional Crime Stoppers, according to details provided by the KTLA interview with officials.
