Long Beach Police Chief Robert Luna told the Press-Telegram that the victims were standing in front of the Hooters when a hail of bullets struck them and the business.

Officers conducted a traffic stop nearby on a vehicle seen fleeing from the scene and detained three people found inside as possible suspects, police said. They were arrested after officers positively identified them as being involved in the shooting.

One suspect was identified as 23-year-old Jonathan Rodriguez-Zamora, of Wilmington, police said. He was charged with three counts of attempted murder, shooting into an inhabited dwelling, carrying a concealed weapon, and driving the car involved in the shooting. He was held on $3,000,000 bail.

The other suspects were described as juveniles ages 15 and 17. They were charged with attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, and shooting into an inhabited dwelling, police said. The 17-year-old was also suspected of altering a firearm and carrying a loaded firearm while in a public space.

While police have yet to determine a motive for the shooting, detectives are investigating it as possibly gang-related.
