Man due in court in Koreatown shooting

A 36-year-old man who was arrested after allegedly shooting and killing a man in a vehicle in Koreatown is due in court this week on murder and attempted murder charges, according to the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office.

Tremayne Ware, a 36-year-old black man, has been charged with one count of murder and two counts of attempted murder in the Feb. 9 shooting.  

Clay Allen Casey, 49, a black man, was sitting in a sport utility vehicle with two women when a man approached and began shooting at Clay and the women, said LAPD Det. John Skaggs. A person who witnessed the shooting saw Ware attempting to run away from the scene, Skaggs said, and used his car to strike Ware.

Ware’s pelvis was broken, Skaggs said. He was arrested that day. Ware is due in court March 14 on the murder charges, according to the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office.
