Authorities have recently identified two individuals who were arrested in connection with a tragic road rage shooting incident in Lancaster, California. The incident resulted in the untimely death of a 4-year-old boy, sending shockwaves throughout the community.

The shooting took place at approximately 7:30 p.m. on Friday in the vicinity of Sierra Highway and East Avenue J, as confirmed by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

Authorities have refrained from disclosing which of the suspects was allegedly driving the vehicle involved in the incident.

According to investigators, the incident unfolded when the victims’ vehicle, carrying the young boy, his father, and his mother, was cut off by another driver. Subsequently, the second driver pursued the victims through surface streets. As the victims’ vehicle slowed down, the suspect pulled up alongside the passenger side and began firing shots.

Tragically, the young boy, identified as Gor Adamyan, was seated in the back when he was struck by gunfire in the upper body. His parents immediately rushed him to a nearby hospital, but despite their efforts, he was pronounced dead.

A GoFundMe page has been established to support Gor Adamyan’s grieving family, with donations exceeding $1,600 as of Monday.

According to the page, the family was en route to a store to purchase groceries when the tragic shooting incident unfolded.
