CALIFORNIA — On Thursday, LAPD detectives were made aware of a video shot from within a vehicle that is parked behind a uniformed LAPD officer.
The video shows an unknown suspect brandishing a revolver inside the car unbeknown to the officer as he exits his police vehicle. This video was posted on ‘Instagram’. (Scroll down for video)
Detectives identified the vehicle and three suspects who were inside filming.
The investigation revealed that the film was made by members of an early 1990’s rap group no longer in fashion, police said. The film was made and posted on social media to “ignite a comeback by the rap group.” The name of the group was not released.
One suspect was identified who had a prior conviction for carrying a firearm.
A felony warrant for his arrest for carrying a firearm in a vehicle with a prior, accompanied by a search warrant was obtained by investigators and was executed by SWAT in the city of Downey.
RHD detectives have determined that the video in question was made for entertainment purposes only and was not a credible threat to police officers.
