The shooter fled on foot after the Saturday morning incident in East Hollywood that left dozens injured.

Los Angeles police detectives are asking the public to help them identify a man suspected of shooting the driver of a car that plowed into a crowd outside a nightclub on July 19.

Photos released on July 21 by detectives show a bald man who appeared to be among the crowd.

The suspect is described as a Hispanic male, 5-foot-6 to 5-foot-7, 150 to 170 pounds, and last seen wearing a blue Dodgers jacket and light-blue jersey with the number โ€œ5โ€ on the front and blue jeans, according to the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD).

The suspect also had wide earlobe plugs in both ears and a goatee, police reported. Earlier, the LAPD warned he was possibly armed with a silver revolver.

At least 36 people were hurt in the early morning of July 19 after a vehicle drove into a crowd outside The Vermont Hollywood, an East Hollywood nightclub, according to official estimates.

Police responded to a call of an โ€œassault with a deadly weaponโ€ at about 2 a.m. that morning in the 4600 block of Santa Monica Boulevard, according to an LAPD Facebook post.

When they arrived, they found the driver being assaulted by bystanders and noted he had been shot.

The suspect who shot the driver fled the scene on foot, the LAPD reported.

Videos of the vehicle attack posted on social media showed sections of the road in front of the venue cordoned off by authorities. People were being taken away in the ambulances that lined the street. X users posted videos of people lying on the sidewalk and being helped by emergency responders.

The club was hosting a reggae and hip hop event that night, which ended at 2 a.m., according to its online calendar.

The nightclub offered prayers to the victims, according to a statement released on July 19.

โ€œWe are deeply saddened by the tragic incident that occurred early Saturday morning outside our venue,โ€ the club posted on Instagram. โ€œOur thoughts and heartfelt prayers are with the victims and their families during this difficult time.โ€
