Woman Fatally Shot at Hollywood Restaurant Identified

A woman who was fatally shot at a Thai restaurant in Hollywood was identified Monday by the the coroner's office as 44-year-old Jitrujee Buatet of Los Angeles.

Her male companion who was shot underwent surgery for his wound or wounds and was expected to live, Lt. Marc Reina at the Hollywood Station said. His name was withheld.

The shooting at the Pink Pepper, 1638 N. La Brea Ave., near Hollywood Boulevard, was reported at 10:17 p.m. Friday, Los Angeles police Office Norma Eisenman said.

Three shots were reportedly fired, Eisenman said, shattering patio glass.

Police initially said they were looking for two male suspects that fled in a black sedan but that has since been ruled out, Reina said. No suspect description was available.
