The Los Angeles Police Department is looking for a man who shot a woman during an argument in Hollywood last month.
At a few minutes after noon on Oct. 15, a woman was trying to rent a scooter at Hollywood Boulevard and Western Avenue when a man approached her, police said in a news release.
That man "initiated an argument," and then used a semi-automatic handgun to fire multiple shots at the woman, the release added.
She was struck multiple times and was hospitalized with non-life-threatening wounds.
The shooter ran south on Western Avenue, but not before a witness captured photos of him.
He has black hair and brown eyes, is between 5-foot-5 and 5-foot-8, weighs between 130 and 160 pounds, and appears to be between 20 and 25 years old.
