Santa Ana : Teen-Ager Slain in Suspected Gang Attack
In what Santa Ana police described as another in a series of gang murders, two men approached a parked car and one opened fire with a handgun, killing a 16-year-old male inside the car.
A police spokeswoman said the attack just before midnight Sunday occurred at Spruce and Willits streets, where a man, two women and the youth were inside a parked car.
The spokeswoman said two men approached the car, that an argument broke out, and one of the men fired at least three times, striking the youth once in the chest. The youth died at the scene.
Police withheld the names of the victim, who they said had lived in Orange, and others in the car.
