Woman Fatally Shot at Fast-Food Stand
A woman standing with a group of people in the parking lot of a South-Central Los Angeles hamburger stand was fatally shot Monday by a man who fired several times from a nearby alley, authorities said.
“She was standing in a parking lot adjacent to a fast-food restaurant at 100 E. Florence Ave. and a male suspect approached the parking lot from a rear alley,” Sgt. John Lack said. “He fired several shots into the group she was standing with.” Lashaunda Brooks, 19, was wounded in the upper body in the 1:30 a.m. attack and died at Martin Luther King Jr./Drew Medical Center half an hour later.
No motive was determined for the shooting and no arrests have been made, Lack said.
