On February 9, 2021 at approximately 3:50pm, officers responded at the area of 1800 E. Covina for a report of a shots fired. As the officers were responding, the suspect was described as an adult male wearing a red flowered shirt and jeans. The first officers on scene found a subject, Timor Shah Gardezy, matching that description walking in the complex. Gardezy was detained and a handgun was found in his possession. Additional officers arrived and found the victim in a nearby complex with a gunshot wound to his leg.
When officers found the victim, he was in his vehicle along with his 6- and 7-year-old children. He told officers that he was following the suspect in the adjacent complex when they both stopped in the parking lot. Both drivers got out of their vehicles and began arguing and fighting. After the fight, the victim said he went back to his car and had the door closed and the windows up as the suspect approached. The suspect produced a handgun and began firing through the window and door striking the victim. Fearing for his safety and his children, he drove around the suspect before stopping nearby to get help for his injury. The children in the backseat were not injured in the shooting. The victim was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Gardezy was transported to the police station where he was interviewed about the incident. He admitted that he and the suspect were involved in a fight in the parking lot. He said it started because the victim thought he was driving too slow in the parking lot. Gardezy said that after the two had separated, the victim came back at him again, so he shot him. Witnesses on scene described the fight and the suspect approaching the victim’s car before shooting into the car.
Based on the evidence at the scene and
statements from the victim and witnesses, Gardezy was arrested for the
following charges and held on a $150,000 bond:
2 counts Endangerment, a class 6 felony
