LOS ANGELES—A gunman who shot a 28-year-old man in the leg outside the Erewhon Market in the Fairfax District then fled the scene in a Lamborghini SUV remained at large Nov. 3.

Officers responded to the 7600 block of Beverly Blvd. around 5:15 p.m. Nov. 1 near The Grove shopping center to a report of a shooting, according to the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) spokesman Officer Drake Madison.

Surveillance video shows a confrontation between the victim and a man with dreadlocks inside the garage. The victim walked to the Lamborghini and appeared to challenge a passenger.

The original two men and the Lamborghini passenger walked out of the garage where the argument continued, with the man with dreadlocks then shooting the victim, who crumpled to the sidewalk.

The victim drove himself to a hospital, Mr. Madison said.

The victim is listed in stable condition, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Police said the shooting suspect was described as 6 feet tall and wearing a white shirt and black pants. A handgun was used in the shooting and the license plate of the car he was driving was 8WWS816, the Los Angeles Times reported.

The suspect drove away in an unknown direction. Mr. Madison said the shooting did not appear to be gang related.
