An initial investigation found that two adults and a baby were approached by an armed woman while walking down the street.
Detectives from the Career Criminal Apprehension Team (CCAT) and Gang Detail immediately started investigating the incident. Within a few hours following the incident authorities were able to make arrests.
They arrested 55-year-old Stacie Earnestine Wilson, a resident of the city of LA, and 45-year-old Walter Keshone Sullivan also a resident of LA.
A struggle between Wilson and the two individuals ensued which led to Wilson pointing a firearm and demanding for the baby in the stroller.
