Police are still searching for the suspect or suspects who shot eight people in Peck Park in San Pedro Sunday. Tuesday community members demanded answers.
The investigation continues after eight people were shot, two of whom were killed, around 4 p.m. Sunday. LAPD investigators estimate that around 500 people were gathered at the park at the time of the shooting. At that time the park was playing host to a car show and softball game.
While there's been much talk about the car show that day and whether it had proper permits, LAPD officials said Tuesday night that the shooting was not tied to the show."What I can tell you is that the Peace Ride is not related to the shooting," LAPD Captain Adrian Gonzalez told the crowd Tuesday. "We haven't found any evidence to tie them or their participation or any of their participants to the homicide.
The six survivors from Sunday's shooting were all transported to the hospital in stable condition. Police haven't released the identities of any of the eight people shot, but say that their ages range between 24 and 53 years old. All the news you need to know, every day
