A 24-year-old man was shot in the leg in the parking lot of the Westwood Village McDonald’s last night after a dispute over a vehicle sale turned violent.
According to police, the 24-year-old man recently sold a vehicle to a 23-year-old man but did not provide the title. Around midnight last night, police say, the two men got into an argument about the sale and the 23-year-old man pulled out a handgun and shot the other man in the leg. He then fled the scene in a silver Honda Accord.
The 24-year-old man was treated by medics at the scene and was taken to Harborview.
Although a gang unit detective was on-scene following the shooting, SPD spokeswoman Renee Witt says the incident does not appear to be gang-related.
“black male, Asian male, Hispanic male, Asian female.”

Congratulations, Captain Obvious! An attempted car sale between two invidivuals typically isn’t a gang related activity. If I’m, say, a Blood, I’m probably not trying to sell a Honda to a Crip.
This was a dumb call to the gang unit. Just because individuals involved with a crime are ethnic or colored doesn’t mean it’s a possible gang crime.
yeah! whites don’t have any ethnicity or color!
took the $ but didn’t produce a title? can’t imagine why that would anger anyone.
not really that surprised that The Stranger/Slog is ignoring the shooting last night at the suburban Wal-Mart where a security guard was killed during a robbery…’cause you know, judging by the reporting a couple weeks ago during the whole idiotic REI/douchebag photographing the ATM guards incident, that security guards are stupid, Fascists whose jobs aren’t very important or dangerous…
No title? Car was probably stolen.
Nothing like shooting someone and running away to get what you want from them.
Wanna bet it wasn’t a Subaru?
