The LAPD Headquarters released more information Thursday night about the horrifying incident, with an update that there are officially two suspects in the case.
"On February 24, 2021 at approximately 9:40 p.m., the victim was walking three French bulldogs in the area of Sierra Bonita Avenue and Sunset Blvd. The suspects approached the victim in a white Nissan Altima four door," the LAPD's statement reads on social media.
