*Three arrests made, shooting suspects remain at large*

*By Daily Press staff*

Two Santa Monica men and one juvenile were arrested on Wednesday for allegedly raping a woman on Monday at an apartment on Pacific Street, near Lincoln Boulevard.

Over the weekend, shots were fired in the area but no suspects have been found. Santa Monica Police Department Lt. Frank Fabrega said the incidents weren’t related.

The rape suspects have been identified as Louis Hernandez, 23, of Santa Monica, Michael Morales, 35, of Santa Monica, and a 17-year-old male, of Los Angeles. They were booked at Santa Monica Jail on various sexual assault charges.

Apparently the victim came to the SMPD on Tuesday at 10 p.m., reporting that she had been sexually assaulted the previous day, however police reports don’t reveal at what time the alleged rape occurred. Preliminary information indicated the victim was at a residence located at 724 Pacific St., sources said. The suspects were known to the victim by name, police said.

Santa Monica Detectives arrested one suspect in the 700 block of Pacific Street and the two additional suspects were arrested in the area of Ninth Street and Pico Boulevard.

On Friday at 11:06 p.m., SMPD officers responded to the 700 block of Pacific Street after someone reported shots fired. Detectives found several shell casings on the ground but no suspects were seen in the area. Witnesses reported the suspects were Hispanic and looked to be “gang types,” police said.
