L.A. police capture suspect in beating of Giants fan Stow
The Los Angeles Times reports that police have taken into custody one of two men suspected in the brutal beating of Bryan Stow in a parking lot at Dodger Stadium.Early on Sunday morning a SWAT team, with guns drawn, raided an apartment in East Los Angeles and captured a man who police say was involved in the assault on Stow, a San Francisco Giants fan who had attended opening day March 31.
It's not yet an arrest, and others have been detained in relation to the case — possibly as witnesses or suspects.
This comes 11 days after a reward was posted and the first of hundreds of billboards were put up in Los Angeles and Orange counties that feature composite likenesses of two suspects. The reward reportedly has swelled to at least $200,000.
Though he recently opened his eyes, Stow — a 42-year-old father of two — has suffered brain damage and faces an uncertain recovery.
Instant reaction: Hallelujah. Second reaction: Before we get too excited about bringing Stow's assailants to justice, the Times' report gives reason for caution.
