A man suspected of shooting two security guards during an attempted robbery at a Target store in downtown Los Angeles was charged with attempted murder and attempted robbery.
A man suspected of shooting two security guards during an attempted robbery at a Target store in downtown Los Angeles was charged Friday with attempted murder and attempted robbery. Jabril Andrew Metoyer was expected to be arraigned sometime Friday on three counts of attempted murder and five counts of attempted second-degree robbery. The charges include various allegations of personal discharge of a firearm, use of a firearm and great bodily injury.
Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman said the gun allegations filed against Metoyer could lead to a 25-years-to-life sentence if he is convicted. Hochman, who was elected in November touting a tough-on-crime stance, said the gun enhancement being used in this case treats the crime as a potential life sentence in order to send a strong message to anyone who thinks they can use a gun in connection with a violent crime. He added, 'The use of that gun enhancement we are hoping will deter further criminals from using guns in the future.' A suspected shoplifter was taken into custody one day after he allegedly shot and wounded two security guards outside a Target store in downtown L.A
