Two Arrested in Robbery, Attack on 87-Year-Old Man Near Rose Bowl

The victim was on a morning walk near the Rose Bowl stadium when he was confronted by the robbers

Two people were arrested on suspicion of attempted murder in connection with a robbery and attack near the Rose Bowl that left an 87-year-old man hospitalized.

Juan Medina, 19, and Dominick Guzman, 19, turned themselves in and were booked on charges of attempted murder, robbery and elder abuse.

A third suspect, Gabriel Mixco, 19, is still being sought, police said Tuesday.

"Turn yourself in. We know who you are. We want to talk to you during this investigation," said Chief Phillip Sancez of the Pasadena Police Department.

The victim was out for a morning walk Friday near the famed Pasadena football stadium when he was attacked on West Drive, north of Salvia Canyon Road. He suffered head injuries and was hospitalized in critical condition.

A pouch containing personal information was taken during the robbery, police said.

Police reviewed surveillance video as part of the investigation that showed three men and a woman in their teens and 20s at a Pasadena service station attempting to use the victim's credit card shortly after the attack, officials said.

It is not clear if police are still seeking to speak with the woman.
