Suspect arrested in Beverly Hills shooting

Beverly Hills police this morning arrested a suspect in connection with a Wednesday night shooting that critically injured a man, authorities said.

Police arrested Adel Hakim, 47, of Beverly Hills at about midnight in connection with the shooting of a 50-year-old man three hours earlier at an apartment complex in the 400 block of North Palm Drive, according to Beverly Hills police Sgt. Renato Moreno.

Moreno said the shooting victim remained in critical condition this morning at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

Beverly Hills, a city of about 35,000 residents, rarely sees serious violent crime, according to federally reported crime statistics.
