The shooting occurred just after 9 p.m. at Sherman Way and Whitsett Avenue, said Bob Collis, a spokesman for the Los Angeles Fire Department.
The boy was reportedly sitting in a car, but it was not immediately known whether the attack was a drive-by shooting or he was the intended target, according to authorities.
