Teenage boy shot dead in South Los Angeles
Authorities with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department are investigating a deadly shooting that claimed the life of a teenage boy Monday in South Los Angeles.
The fatal incident, according to a LASD news release, unfolded just before 4 p.m. in the 10800 block of Western Avenue, near the intersection of West 108th Street on the border of L.A.’s Westmont and Gramercy Park neighborhoods.
When deputies arrived at the scene, they witnessed a large group of juveniles dispersing. The teen was found lying on the sidewalk suffering from gunshot wounds. He was rushed to the hospital where he was pronounced dead, LASD said in an update.
Footage of the scene captured by Sky5 showed a heavy presence of police, along with crews from the L.A. County Fire Department at the intersection. The area was cordoned off with yellow crime scene tape, including the parking lot of a 7-Eleven store.
There are several schools in the area, though it’s unknown if the teen was a student at any of them.
Investigators say there were multiple fights that occurred prior to the shooting, and that a “person of interest” was detained.
So far, authorities have not released any information on the victim.
Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Homicide Bureau at 323-890-5500. Those wishing to remain anonymous can call the L.A. Regional Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-222-8477 or submit tips online at L.A. Crime Stoppers.
