Eagle Rock, CA (April 15, 2025) – A wild chain of events unfolded in Eagle Rock after a hit-and-run crash on the eastbound 134 Freeway led to injuries, a bizarre arrest, and an officer-involved shooting. One of the victims, David Gonzalez, suffered serious injuries in the initial crash.
Incident Details: The crash occurred last Tuesday when a driver lost control of his car and struck multiple vehicles, including Gonzalez’s brand-new Tesla. Gonzalez suffered a broken arm, back injury, and required surgery. The suspect fled the scene carrying a guitar, initiating a bizarre police manhunt. He was later found in his boxers, attempting to blend in by watering a stranger’s lawn.
The chaos escalated when Jillian Shriner, the wife of Weezer bassist Scott Shriner, allegedly pointed a firearm at officers and fired. She was shot by LAPD officers, taken to the hospital, and is now facing attempted murder charges.
Investigation and Legal Considerations: The hit-and-run driver was cited and released for a misdemeanor, but the broader situation has triggered multiple investigations. Authorities are examining potential charges related to reckless driving, hit-and-run, and assault. For victims like Gonzalez, legal options could include pursuing a civil claim for damages resulting from both the initial crash and any subsequent injuries or losses. Questions may also arise regarding LAPD’s response and the conduct of Shriner during the incident.
