PASADENA (CBSLA) – Authorities sought the public’s help Saturday in identifying and locating an armed man who threatened a family in the parking lot of a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant in Pasadena, a police lieutenant said Saturday.
A 29-year-old man was waiting to pick up his wife — an employee at the restaurant at 2896 E. Colorado Blvd. — when the suspect approached the family just after 10 p.m. Friday as the victim sat in his vehicle with the couple’s two children in the backseat, ages 5 and 9, said Lt. Anthony Burgess of the Pasadena Police Department.
