On Saturday, November 9, 2024, at approximately 10:00 pm, Culver City Police received a report of an armed robbery that occurred earlier that morning at approximately 3:00 am.

Initial investigation indicates that the victim was standing in a parking lot with a friend on the 3800 block of Midway Avenue, when two suspects approached the victim. Suspect one (S/1) stood in front of the victim and pointed a black semi-automatic handgun at the victim’s chest. Suspect two (S/2) walked behind the victim and struck him in the upper back area.
