Man Is Robbed, Shot to Death by 2 Assailants
A 26-year-old man was shot and killed after being robbed by two assailants early Saturday, police said.
Juan Jose Jacobo Preciado was gunned down in the hallway of his apartment building in the 800 block of South Westlake Avenue near MacArthur Park, investigators said.
Preciado was fleeing from two assailants who had stolen his bag at gunpoint and forced him to knock on the door of his own apartment, police said.
Preciado’s brother, who opened the door, also was assaulted by the killers, who remained at large, officers said.
