Santa Monica Police Department (SMPD) Officers arrested Michelle Antonia Murcia, an 18-year-old female of Los Angeles, for her involvement in an incident that occurred on November 21, 2021.

On November 21, 2021 SMPD Officers responded investigate an assault that occurred at the base of the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. stairs involving two street vendors. When officers arrived, they contacted a female victim who told them that she was being challenged to fight by another female vendor, later identified as Murcia, so she took out her cellular phone to record the female’s actions.

Murcia left the area prior to officers’ arrival.

On January 8, 2022, at approximately 5:30 PM officers noticed Murcia standing in front of Hot Dog on a Stick in the 1600 block of Ocean Front Walk. She was detained and taken into custody without incident. Murcia was booked for 245(a)(4) PC – Assault with a Deadly Weapon.
