Double shooting in Hollywood sends 2 people to hospital, suspect in custody, police say
The Hollywood Police Department is investigating a double shooting that sent two victims to the hospital and resulted in a suspect being taken into custody overnight.
Officers said they responded around 2:20 a.m. Sunday to the 2700 block of Arthur Street. They arrived and found the victims, who were then taken to a local hospital by Hollywood Fire Rescue.
The department said the suspect remained at the scene and was taken into custody.
Investigators have collected multiple pieces of evidence from the scene, including shell casings and video footage from neighboring homes. Ring camera footage captured a car speeding away and yelling moments before shots were fired. Detectives are reviewing additional surveillance videos for more leads.
The individual seen handcuffed and searched by officers is believed to be the main suspect.
Authorities have not yet released the suspect's identity or possible motive for the shooting.
Hollywood Police said in a statement that the investigation is ongoing and that all parties involved are being questioned. Detectives are urging anyone with information or surveillance footage to come forward.
Residents in the usually quiet neighborhood expressed shock and concern following the incident. "It's very concerning because I've been here ten, eleven years and nothing like this has happened," said one neighbor. Police have increased patrols in the area as a precaution.
A silver BMW was towed from the scene earlier today. Police have not confirmed whether the vehicle belonged to a suspect or victim, but say it is being processed for evidence as part of the investigation.
The investigation remains ongoing.
