Authorities Monday were continuing to investigate a shooting that left a 4-year-old boy dead, but they remained tight-lipped about the two suspects arrested in the alleged road-rage attack in Lancaster.
The shooting occurred at about 7:30 p.m. Friday in the area of Sierra Highway and East Avenue J, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's Information Bureau.
Investigators said a driver cut off a vehicle that contained the boy, his father and his mother and then began following them through surface streets. When the second driver slowed down, the suspect pulled up along the passenger side of the victims' car and began shooting, officials said.
The boy was sitting in the back seat and was struck by gunfire in the upper body. The parents rushed him to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. He was identified as Gor Adamyan.
No other injuries were reported.
Sheriff's officials said investigators located the suspects' vehicle in the immediate area of the shooting and arrested a 29-year-old man and a 27- year-old woman on suspicion of murder.
The department would not identify the suspects on Monday, and information on their bail, if any, and their expected court date was not provided. Officials said Saturday there were no outstanding suspects, though the investigation was ongoing.
Anyone with information about the case was asked to call homicide detectives at 323-890-5500 or Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477.
