2 shot, 1 killed after "dispute" outside of McDonald's in East Hollywood, police say
A person was killed and another was injured in an early morning shooting outside of a McDonald's in East Hollywood, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
Authorities said reports came in for a shooting at about 3:30 a.m. on the 1000 block of N Western Avenue, in the parking lot of a McDonald's.
According to the LAPD, a "dispute" between two parties led to a shooting. A suspect pulled out a handgun during the confrontation and shot at two victims, police said.
One of the victims, identified by his family as Feliciano Curiel Marteniz, 36, was pronounced dead at a local hospital. The other remains in stable condition, police said. Marteniz's fiancée Kerin Gonzalez said the suspect, identified as Humberto Delgado by LAPD, began shooting amid an altercation over a minor car crash.
"We were behind him all the time," Gonzalez said. "Our car has a sensor that it brakes as soon as it sees something."
Witnesses said Marteniz punched Delgado. Gonzalez said her fiancé struck Delgado because he was he was verbally attacking her.
"I am pretty sure that my fiancé saw the gun because he just went in front of me," Gonzalez said.
LAPD booked suspect Delgado for manslaughter.
