Bicyclist Charged for Shooting LAPD Officer with Ghost Gun

Ernesto Sepulveda, 26, is in custody after allegedly shooting a Los Angeles Police Department officer with an untraceable ghost gun during an encounter near Exposition Park. The encounter began when officers noticed him riding a bicycle with what appeared to be a firearm in his pocket, leading to an attempt to question him that ended with Sepulveda firing at the officers and injuring one in the leg.

Facing two felony counts of premeditated attempted murder and other charges, Sepulveda has pleaded not guilty and is being held on a $3 million bail. If convicted, he could face a sentence of up to 75 years to life in state prison, underscoring the serious implications of gun violence against law enforcement. His arraignment is scheduled for July 22, prompting a strong condemnation from the District Attorney regarding the attack’s brazen nature.
