On January 13, 2013, shortly after 2:00 a.m., a
large fight erupted outside of a night club in the 1700 block of North
Cahuenga Boulevard. During the altercation 19-year-old Andre Lowe was
shot. Lowe was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The combined efforts of LAPD’s West Bureau Homicide and Hollywood Area
detectives were able to gather evidence, including a video from a media
outlet, to identify a suspect in the shooting.
Last night, 22-year-old Los Angeles resident Robert Earl Thomas was
located and arrested in Las Vegas, Nevada by members of the Las Vegas
Metropolitan-FBI Fugitive Task Force. Thomas has been charged with
murder and faces extradition back to California. The investigation is
still ongoing and investigators are looking to identify others that were
in the video.
