The robbery took place in the area of Holt Avenue and Clark Avenue around 11:45 p.m. Sunday.

Officers were soon able to take Torrez into custody. Torrez has since been officially charged by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office with shooting at an inhabited vehicle, assault with a deadly weapon with a firearm, robbery, and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Torrez is being held in lieu of $3 million bail. He is expected to make another appearance in Pomona Superior Court Thursday June 1. |
