Police investigate fatal shooting in South Los Angeles, other nearby crimes
Police are investigating a fatal shooting in South Los Angeles and three related crime scenes in the same neighborhood, authorities said.
Officers responded to a call about a shooting near 90th and Hoover Streets about 4:30 a.m. Saturday, said Officer Norma Eisenman, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles Police Department.
A 25-year-old man was transported by a “private party” to a local hospital, where he died, Eisenman said.
No additional details were available about the shooting.
About the same time as the shooting, Eisenman said, there were three other crimes a few blocks away.
“There are detectives on scene at all of them, and we’re trying to get clarification as to what exactly happened,” Eisenman said.
She could not say whether the additional incidents involved shootings and whether they were gang-related.
