LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — Authorities have identified a man wanted for robbing a boy of the bike he had won just five minutes prior at a Halloween event.
Gabriel Estrada, 26, is wanted on a $110,000 felony warrant in connection with the strong-arm robbery that happened at Ted Watkins Park in the Watts area.
