Three days after a shooting that left a man believed to be actor Mark Ruffalo’s brother in critical condition with a gunshot wound to the head, police were looking Thursday for two “persons of interest” for questioning in what they called an attempted murder investigation.
Police said they were looking for Brian Scofield and Shaha Mishaal Adham in connection with the investigation.
Scott Ruffalo, a 39-year-old hairstylist, was hospitalized in serious condition after Monday’s shooting, said Mark Ruffalo’s publicist, Jessica Kolstad.
Police, who said they could not confirm that the victim was Scott Ruffalo, said city fire officials responded to a call about a person who fell shortly after 1 a.m. Monday in the 400 block of North Palm Drive. An address listed for Scott Ruffalo in public records is in that block.
Police spokesman Tony Lee said anyone with information about the persons of interest is asked to call (310) 288-2656.
