Van Nuys Gang-Related Homicide
Los Angeles: Last night a known Van Nuys gang member was shot and killed by a rival gang member at the corner of Kittridge Street and Woodman Avenue.
On Tuesday, November 28, 2006, around 5:00 P.M., Van Nuys Area patrol officers responded to a "Shots Fired" radio call. When officers arrived they found 23-year-old Juan Manuel Alonzo suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was transported to a local hospital where he died from his injuries.
Ongoing gang rivalry and a dispute over gang turf were motives for this crime. The suspects are two male Hispanics in their early 20s. The weapon was a dark-metal handgun. After the shooting, both suspects fled southbound on Woodman Avenue in a blue Ford Mustang.
