It was a typical day on June 5, 2023, and two young mothers were chilling in their car, hanging out at the Monster Burger stand, at the corner of 81st Street and Avalon Boulevard, just as the clock struck 5:30 p.m. Along for the ride were their little ones – an 8-month-old and a 1-year-old – all snug and secure in their car seats. 🚗🍔👩👧👧
Suddenly, out of nowhere, a gray Kia sedan, flashing Texas plates, rolled into the parking lot. Three teenagers with something deadly on their minds emerged, packing heat. And guess what? Those guns weren’t there to cut in line for some burgers. 🚙😳🔫
With chilling precision, they walked up to the women’s car and let off a barrage of bullets, striking one woman in the leg and the 1-year-old girl in the foot. 😱🔥💥
As the smoke cleared, the LAPD squad who responded found themselves staring at a grim scene. They picked up 9mm and .45 caliber casings that littered the ground like a metallic rain had just fallen. 🔍👮🕵️♀️
