Los Angeles.: A 22-year-old Reseda man is in custody for Attempt Murder and is being held on $500,000 bail.
On January 10, 2010, at around 10:30 p.m., Foothill Patrol Officers
received a radio call of a shooting near the intersection of Haddon
Street and Osborne Avenue. They found a 10-year-old girl who had been
struck by gunfire. She was rushed to a local hospital for treatment,
but is expected to make a full recovery.
During the investigation it was discovered that the suspect, Victor
Figueroa, had earlier been involved in an argument with his
girlfriend. He left the location, but returned a short time later with
a gun. When Figueroa fired the gun, the round hit a child riding in a
passing car.
Figueroa was arrested without incident soon after the shooting.
