The brother of Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Josh Raven was shot five times Sunday morning in the Los Angeles suburb of West Hills.

Police reported Joel Ravin was shot in the neck twice, arm, stomach and side. He was reported to be in stable condition by the LAPD.

While the suspected shooter had not been apprehended, police said they know who it is.

According to ABC7.com:

Joel Ravin's mother told KTLA his girlfriend ran to his aid after he was struck.

"She tried to put pressure on something but there was just too much blood," Lana Ravin told KTLA. "She couldn't tell where the wound was."

"I'm just so sad about the whole thing. It's hard to believe. You know?"

Josh Ravin took to Twitter calling for stronger mental health oversight.

Josh Ravin, a 27-year-old righthander, was 2-1 with a 6.75 ERA in nine appearances for the Dodgers.

Thank you everybody for all of your support and we'll wishes! Me and my family appreciate it! #Love
