The man, believed to be 25 to 30 years old, was standing outside in the 600 block of East 83rd Street in the neighborhood of Florence around 10:05 p.m. when two suspects approached the man and opened fire, said LAPD Officer Rosario Herrera.

The man died at the scene, she said.

It is unknown if the shooting is gang-related, Herrera said, but other media have reported that the two suspects asked the victim with whom does he “run” before shooting.
