Authorities revealed Tuesday they have made arrests in a gang-related shooting last month that killed a 27-year-old woman in the Manchester Square area of South Los Angeles.
Magali Alberto, a single mother and project manager, was waiting at a red light at Manchester and Denker avenues while on her way home from a small, family birthday celebration about 12:20 a.m. April 26 when “three local gang members” pulled up alongside and “indiscriminately fired gunshots” through her sedan’s tinted windows, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
Alberto was pronounced dead at the scene.
The LAPD scheduled a news conference at the LAPD’s 77th Area Community Police Station at 10 a.m. Thursday to release the names of the suspects taken into custody. The victim’s family members are scheduled to attend.
Meanwhile, department officials would not confirm how many arrests were made, nor when or where they occurred.
