The suspect, riding a red ATV, could be seen swerving around uninvolved traffic in the area and quickly cutting turns with Los Angeles Police Department officers following closely behind in squad cars. 

At around 5:27 p.m., police reported that the suspect bailed from the ATV near the intersection of 53rd Street and Denker Avenue before fleeing behind some homes in the area. 

At 7:15 p.m., authorities announced that they had taken the suspect into custody without further incident. 

They noted that the shooting that the suspect was involved in did not result in any injuries, but did not disclose any further information as the investigation is ongoing. 

The victim of the shooting, who drove their bullet-riddled car to a nearby LAPD station, told officers that they were fired upon by two suspects, one riding a dirt bike and the other riding an ATV.
