Two British tourists were chased and shot in the back outside of a bar in Los Angeles.
The two men, both from Liverpool, were shot in the Venice Beach area in the early hours of July 30.
The Los Angeles Police Department released CCTV footage as part of an appeal to hunt down the attacker.
In the footage, two men are seen running for their lives before they are shot.
Police described the men as "UK tourists", but LiverpoolECHO reports one is from the Huyton area while the other is from Liverpool.
A statement from the LAPD said detectives from its Pacific Division are hunting for Brandon Manyo Dixon, who the force said should be considered "armed and dangerous".
A statement from the force said: "The suspect, the suspect’s friend and two United Kingdom tourists were involved in a verbal argument outside a heavily populated bar in the 20 block of Windward Avenue.
"The argument escalated into a physical fight and then turned violent when the suspect chased after both tourists with a gun.
"As the tourists ran away, the suspect shot the tourists and then fled on foot from the scene.
"Both victims sustained significant wounds from the gunshots and were hospitalised for their injuries. The shooting was captured on video.
"Brandon Manyo Dixon has been identified as the person involved in the attempted murder of the United Kingdom victims.
"Dixon should be considered armed and dangerous. If you see him, call 911 for immediate assistance."
It is understood that both men are recovering from their wounds.
