Authorities released a surveillance image Thursday of the suspected shooter involved in a Labor Day dispute aboard a Metro bus that left one man hospitalized with a bullet wound to the abdomen.

The shooting occurred about 12:07 p.m. on Metro bus line 207 as it pulled up to the Western Avenue and 60th Street stop (map), the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department stated in a news release.

A 30-year-old man was shot in the abdomen not long after the gunman boarded the bus and the two became involved in an argument, according to the Sheriff’s Department.

The shooter then ran off the bus with a possible accomplice and disappeared, the Sheriff’s Department stated.

The man who was shot was reported to be in stable condition following the incident, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Initial reports that the person shot was a bystander caught in the cross fire of a gang dispute were later determined that to be premature, the news release stated.

Investigators Thursday released a surveillance image of the man sought in the shooting and asked the public for help in identifying him.

He was described by authorities as a black man between 18 and 20 years old, standing 5 feet 4 inches and 5 feet 6 inches tall, and weighing between 140 and 150 pounds.

He was wearing a black baseball cap with a Chicago White Sox logo, black T-shirt and blue jean shorts, according to the news release.

Investigators warned the public not to approach the man as he was considered to be armed and dangerous.

Anyone with information was asked to call 911 or Sheriff’s Department Transit Policing Division detectives at 888-950-SAFE.
