Felony Battery Suspect Arrested in South Brentwood Sexual Assault on July 16

26-Year-Old Taken Into Custody After Assault on Gretna Green Way

Detectives from the Los Angeles Police Department’s West Los Angeles Division have announced the arrest of a suspect in a felony battery case.

The incident occurred on July 16, 2024, at approximately 4:40 p.m. The victim was walking on Gretna Green Way near Mayfield Avenue, pushing her 1-month-old daughter in a stroller, when she was approached from behind by the suspect. The suspect, identified as 26-year-old Abraham Shily, allegedly grabbed the victim’s waist with both hands and simulated sexual activity, making physical contact with her hips.
