16-Year-Old Critically Wounded in Shoot-Out
A 16-year-old boy was shot and critically wounded Thursday during a shooting in the Cadillac-Corning area of West Los Angeles that police said may have been gang-related.
James Clements of Culver City was in extremely critical condition and on life support at Kaiser Foundation Hospital in Hollywood after being shot once in the head in the 2000 block of Corning Street shortly after midnight Wednesday, Detective Bill Humphry of the Los Angeles Police Department said.
Investigators said the shooting occurred after the driver of a car in which Clements was a passenger stopped to let out another passenger, and at least two men who were walking nearby opened fire into the vehicle. Another passenger, an unidentified 22-year-old man, was treated at another hospital for an arm wound and released. Police had no suspects Thursday.
