A 28-year-old Los Angeles man has been identified as the man who set off a wild car chase and gun battle that left one woman dead and sparked panic inside a Trader Joe’s store in Silver Lake on Saturday afternoon, authorities said.
Gene Atkins is being held in lieu of $2 million bail on suspicion of murder, according to Officer Drake Madison, a Los Angeles Police Department spokesman.
The car chase that ended in the parking lot of the popular grocery store started as a family dispute in South L.A. when Atkins shot his grandmother at least seven times and injured an unidentified second woman, according to police. He then dragged the second woman into his grandmother’s Toyota Camry and drove off, police said.

Yes. Massive blessings of her heart ;D. Her description of him with the bloody gun and the gun fire is terrifying and then to be taken hostage . . .
Gene Atkins. Wonder why they’re not using his middle name? Aren’t perps usually ID’d by their first, middle, and last names? Why not this time?
When he left the fist site to move on, he should have been stopped.
He got to another location without beings stopped, and then killed an innocent person there.
This stand off and follow the person as they move to the next crime scene is idiotic.
The reporting here says there was a gun battle, but I’m a little unclear if that was during the car chase.
Put all available cars on this, block the path, and exterminate him like the vermin he is. Do it before he can kill again.
Now the Trader Joe’s store manager is dead.
That didn’t need to happen.
End it like that Las Vegas officer did.
Yes he is black.
