Yaneth Ordorica, a 17-year-old Latina, was killed, and her boyfriend, a 21-year-old Latino young man, was wounded in a drive-by shooting at 1037 Torrance Blvd. near Catalina Street just north of Harbor-UCLA hospital.

Yaneth and the young man were walking down Catalina when suspects in a car drove up and shot them. She was pronounced dead at the hospital; he was treated for wounds to the arm and released. He was her boyfriend for two years, documented by police as a gang member. But she wasn’t. She was a high-school student. She was earlier, incorrectly, identified as a 21-year-old woman. Sheriff’s Dets. Ken Parry and Dan McElderry seek leads. (323) 890-5500.

UPDATE: This case is cleared by arrest. Black suspects are in custody.
