The victim then took cover behind a cement planter, and the two suspects ran to a waiting truck and left the area. Both the victim and the suspects are believed to be gang members. The suspects are described as follows: Suspect one, who shot the victim, is described as a 20- to 25-year-old Hispanic male with a shaved head.
