Within a span of three hours in Pasadena, a man was attacked and robbed in his residence, an admitted gang member stabbed a teenager walking home and one man was wounded in a drive-by shooting .

Police are looking for the assailants and also checking if the three cases are linked, according to Pasadena police Lt. Pete Hettema. He added that the crimes occurred close to each other.

Police initially received a report of shots fired in the 1600 block of North Raymond Avenue around 8:40 p.m. Tuesday. What they found instead was a 21-year-old Pasadena man who told officers he was in bed when several men and a woman entered his home, Hettema said.

One of them allegedly started stabbing the resident. They demanded his cell phone and took it from him. One suspect slashed him across the chest, Hettema said. He didn’t know if the slasher and the stabber are the same person.

“He (the victim) yells for another person in the house,” Hettema said. The other resident, a 74-year-old man, showed up and most of the suspects ran.

Hettema said the 21-year-old chased the suspects, heard gunshots, ran back to the house and saw the female suspect threatening the older resident with a knife. The younger resident confronted the woman who threatened him with the knife and slashed him, the lieutenant said.

Hettema said the victim didn’t sustain major injuries,

The female suspect left the house and was last seen running south on Raymond Avenue. She was described as a Latina, between 16 to 19, with long brown hair, 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighing about 200 pounds. She wore a gray shirt and jeans. Detailed descriptions of the male suspects were not available.

The stabbing took place at El Sereno Avenue and Howard Street at 9:53 p.m. on Tuesday. A 14-year-old Pasadena boy walking home saw a girl and a boy get out of a car and walk up to him, Hettema said. The pair were described as being about 17.

Hettema said the suspect identified himself as a member of a local Latino gang and stabbed the victim in the back. As the victim ran, he looked back and saw the two suspects leave in their car which is a newer model black Honda with tinted windows and chrome rims.

The victim was taken to a hospital. Hettema didn’t know his current condition.

The stabber was described as a 17-year-old boy, between 5 feet 2 to 5 feet 3 inches tall, with long spiky black hair and medium build. He wore a light gray hooded sweatshirt and jeans. His companion was only described as a 17-year-old girl with black hair and garbed in a black sweater.

Staff at a local hospital notified police at 12:18 a.m. Wednesday about a gunshot victim who was taken to the facility. Police were not able to talk to the 18-year-old Monrovia man because he was sedated, Hettema said.

But a companion of the man told police they were standing at the corner of Raymond Avenue and Howard Street when a car pulled up and someone inside started shooting at them, according to Hettema. She saw two men in the car which drove off after the shooting.

“She flagged down a passerby who took them to a hospital,” the lieutenant said.
