Overview
- Police found a man with gunshot wounds in the mall parking lot just before 8 p.m. Friday and took him to a hospital in life-threatening condition.
- Officers established a perimeter after the suspects fled and asked people to avoid the areas around the 6000 block of Sepulveda Boulevard.
- Investigators have not identified a motive or suspects and continue to collect evidence and canvass the scene.
- The shooting is drawing attention to Bondi's recent criticism of crime in Culver City during an exchange with Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove.
- Mayor Freddy Puza pushed back on that characterization, citing a 9.7% crime drop in 2024 and an additional 6.1% decline in the third quarter of 2025.
