A late-night shooting rattled a Culver City intersection Wednesday when a man was wounded near the Chase Bank branch on Washington Boulevard and at least one bullet shattered the bank's glass front window. The victim was taken to a hospital, treated and later released, as officers canvassed the area and police launched a search for two suspects believed to be involved in the incident.
According to ABC7 Los Angeles, the shooting happened just after 9:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 24, at the intersection of Washington Boulevard and Hughes Avenue. Video from the scene showed broken glass at the Chase Bank, and responding officers found a man suffering from a gunshot wound when they arrived. Details about what led up to the gunfire and a description of the suspects were not immediately available.
Police Response and How to Help
The Culver City Police Department's community engagement page lists Jennifer Atenza as the public information officer and provides contact paths for media and tips. The department asks anyone with information, surveillance footage or dash-cam video to get in touch as investigators follow up on leads. Anyone who saw the incident or captured video is urged to call the department's non-emergency line or the watch commander with any details about vehicles or a direction of travel.
Local Context
The shooting comes amid a busy stretch for the Westside: earlier this month a high-speed pursuit spilled into downtown and left pedestrians injured, as reported in coverage of a wild Culver City chase. That incident drew a large police response and renewed local attention to safety along Washington Boulevard. Investigators continue to review scene video and surveillance in the current case as they work to identify those involved.
