GLENDALE - A motorcyclist was shot and killed early Wednesday on a Glendale Freeway connector road, shutting down traffic for nearly 10 hours.
Manuel Vincent Martin, 32, of Venice Beach was shot about 2 a.m. while riding his motorcycle on the connector road linking the eastbound Foothill and southbound Glendale freeways, authorities said.
Firefighters and California Highway Patrol officers found Martin's motorcycle in the bushes along the connector and his body nearby.
Police questioned a shirtless motorcyclist with a large tattoo on his back that said "Mongols" - likely referring to the Mongols Motorcycle Club, a motorcycle gang founded in Montebello in the 1970s.
The connector roads linking the 210 and 2 freeways were shut down, along with the Foothill Boulevard on-ramp to the southbound 2, clogging roadways during the morning commute.
They were reopened about 11:50 a.m., CHP said.
