Man Chased, Shot Dead in Possible Gang Violence
A shooting Tuesday in South-Central Los Angeles left a man dead and police searching for more than half a dozen young men who fled in two vehicles, authorities said.
In a possibly gang-related act, a gunman chased a man in his early 20s and fired repeatedly at him, hitting him several times, said Det. Charles Tizano of the Los Angeles Police Department’s 77th Street Division. The shooting began about 3:30 p.m. near 73rd Street and Vermont Avenue, Tizano said.
About eight suspects were seen fleeing in two cars--a gold Chevrolet Monte Carlo or Malibu and a silver-colored car, Tizano said.
Anyone with information is asked to call (213) 485-1385 or (213) 485-2504.
