MONROVIA, Calif. (KABC) -- Authorities have arrested four suspects and are looking for three others in connection with a triple shooting at a Monrovia bar.

One man was killed and two were wounded in the shooting that happened just after midnight on Dec. 2 at Gem City Grill on East Olive Avenue.

Authorities say two groups of men - some of them believed to be gang members - got into a confrontation at the bar and one man pulled out a handgun and started shooting.

One man, later identified as Michael Lowe, 43, of Monrovia died.

Two other men, both 24, were wounded. One of those remains in the hospital now. The other has since been released from the hospital and was described as an innocent bystander not involved in a gang or in the bar fight.

Detectives released surveillance video and photos of two of the suspects.

Deputies say Jeremiah Moses Lacroix, 31, is wanted for the shooting. Another man, Jacob Craig Webb, aka "King Khash," is wanted for accessory. A third, unidentified man who served as a getaway driver is also being sought.

Those arrested include the parents of the suspect, who are accused of helping their son avoid arrest after the shooting. William LaCroix Sr., 57, is charged with one count of being an accessory after the fact, and Ana Guerrero, 53, is charged with two counts of being an accessory after the fact.

The suspect's brother, William LaCroix Jr., 34, as well as Erika Torres, 33, both of Monrovia, were both arrested a short time after the shooting and are both facing murder and attempted murder charges.

Anyone with information in the case was urged to call the Sheriff's Headquarters Bureau at (323) 890-5500. Anonymous information can be provided to Crime Stoppers at (800)222-TIPS.
