Victim Wounded After Resisting Robbery on Sepulveda Boulevard
Two women have been arrested in connection with the Aug. 4 shooting of a woman on Sepulveda Boulevard, an incident police say began as an attempted robbery of an electric bicycle.
Officers were called to the 4000 block of Sepulveda Boulevard just after 1:00 a.m. and found a woman suffering from a gunshot wound to her left forearm. Police applied a tourniquet before Culver City Fire Department personnel transported the victim to a hospital. Her injuries were described as non-life-threatening.
Investigators determined the victim was confronted by a group of suspects who tried to steal her e-bike. When she resisted, one of them opened fire before the group fled.
Using the city’s Automated License Plate Reader system, detectives identified the suspect vehicle and its driver, 21-year-old Navya Joy Mackey. She was arrested without incident on Aug. 6 during a high-risk traffic stop.
Authorities later identified the suspected shooter as 25-year-old Nya Cimone White of Los Angeles. On Aug. 14, tactical teams served a search and arrest warrant at her location. White was taken into custody and booked on suspicion of attempted murder, with bail set at $2 million.
A search of the apartment turned up two assault rifles with high-capacity magazines, additional ammunition, pistol magazines, and about a kilogram of a powdery substance believed to be cocaine.
Police credited the arrests to the work of multiple Culver City Police Department units, along with support from Pasadena police and LA IMPACT personnel.
