A man was shot and killed in Arleta early Sunday in a gang-related incident, officials said.

The victim was attending a party outside a residence in the 13200 block of Bromwich Street about 3 a.m. when at least two people approached, and one of them shot him once in the head, Los Angeles Police Officer Norma Eisenman said.

The man, who was between 20 and 30 years old, was pronounced dead at the scene, she said. Police have no description of the assailants, and the case is considered gang-related.
