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.
The boy had just won the Micargi Tivola beach cruiser bicycle when Estrada allegedly forced the bike from boy's hands, saying he wanted to give his daughter a ride, Los Angeles County sheriff's officials said. Authorities said he then rode away on the bike.
