Suspect sought in string of 7-Eleven robberies and shootings across Southern California
LA TimesTwo people were killed and three injured in a string of shootings early Monday at Southern California 7-Eleven stores. Police are searching for a suspect after six 7-Eleven stores in Southern California were robbed, leaving two people dead and three others injured in shootings. “Right now, our focus is on franchisee, associate and customer safety.” The robberies in Brea, Santa Ana and La Habra — and possibly more — may be connected, said Lt. Chris Harvey of the Brea Police Department. “During the robbery, the suspect displayed a handgun and demanded money from the employee,” Ontario police said in the news release. “The initial belief is that ours and La Habra’s and Santa Ana’s are all connected, but that’s not confirmed yet, and I assume there’s going to be more.” On Tuesday, the Los Angeles Police Department said it was searching for a man believed to be connected to four armed robberies of convenience stores and doughnut shops early Saturday in the San Fernando Valley.
