A 28-year-old man suspected of firing a shot from a stolen handgun during a fight involving six people in Hermosa Beach posted $250,000 bond Monday and was released from custody.
Michael Manshoory of Los Angeles was arrested soon after the fight, which occurred about 8:30 p.m. Sunday in the area of Hermosa Avenue and 10th Street, according to Katie Casey, public information officer with the Hermosa Beach Police Department.
Four pedestrians — two males and two females — got into an argument with Manshoory and another man, who were in a BMW, Casey said.
“The argument became physical and a fight ensued,” she said. “The driver of the BMW fired one shot from a handgun in a westerly direction towards the ocean.”
No one was struck by the gunshot and all of the combatants fled the area, Casey said.
The suspects in the BMW were located by Redondo Beach police and arrested, she said, adding that a stolen loaded gun and ammunition was located in the vehicle.
Manshoory was booked on suspicion of assault with a firearm, carrying a concealed firearm in a vehicle, carrying a loaded firearm concealed in a vehicle and shooting into an inhabited dwelling.
His bail was set at $250,000 and he was released early this morning after posting bond, according to sheriff’s online inmate records.
Information about when and where he is next due in court was not immediately available.
Manshoory’s 25-year-old companion, identified as Felix Peter Von Sass- Aliev, a Los Angeles resident and citizen of Canada, was also arrested but released pending further investigation, Casey said.
