2 arrested in 405 Freeway shooting between robbery suspects, victim

LOS ANGELES - Two people have been arrested in connection with a robbery that led to a car-to-car shooting on the 405 Freeway in Van Nuys Monday, snarling traffic for hours. 

It happened just after 3 p.m. on northbound I-405 north of Victory Boulevard.

According to the California Highway Patrol, the victim was robbed on city streets and when the two suspects got into a getaway car, he decided to chase them. That pursuit led to the freeway where both cars collided with each other, CHP said. 

That's when one of the suspects fired a shot at the victim, who was able to drive to a local hospital for treatment of a non-life threatening gunshot wound.

Elijah Allen Green is being held on $1 million bail and Jaiden Allen Green on $750,000 bail.

Anyone with information is asked to call 818-888-0980.

Northbound lanes on the 405 Freeway were shut down for close to three hours as CHP conducted its investigation.
