A 30-year-old Glendale man who reportedly had his girlfriend and 7-year-old child exit a vehicle while he fired on a car believed to be carrying rival gang members earlier this year has been arrested and charged with attempted murder, officials announced Tuesday.
The Sept. 10 incident unfolded when officers with the Burbank Police Department responded to Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center just before 5 p.m. on reports of a male gunshot victim being dropped off at the hospital.
Medical staff confirmed that the man sustained a single gunshot wound and was transferred to a trauma center for treatment.
After speaking with the victim, who was later released from the hospital, detectives learned the shooting happened near Victory Boulevard and Allen Avenue in Glendale.
“The investigation revealed the suspect was driving in the area when he observed another vehicle occupied by three individuals whom he believed were from a rival gang,” a Burbank PD news release stated.
That’s when authorities say the suspect, later identified as Ramon Alberto Carrillo, had his girlfriend and child get out of the car while he proceeded to fire multiple rounds at the vehicle, striking one of the occupants, before fleeing the scene.
Detectives located Carrillo, who was reportedly out on bail for an unrelated felony firearm drug possession case out of Los Angeles, in a Chatsworth community on Oct. 30 and arrested him without incident.
A filing the case with the L.A. County DA’s office, the 30-year-old was charged with three counts of attempted murder and one count of shooting at an occupied vehicle.
Carrillo remains in custody without bail, officials added.
