Surveillance camera captures deadly Vermont Vista shooting
A manhunt is underway for a gunman who killed a man outside a bar in South Los Angeles overnight.
The shooting was reported at about 3:50 a.m. Saturday near the intersection of Figueroa and 120th Streets, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. There, officers found a man suffering from at least one gunshot wound, surrounded by several people. Paramedics arrived at the scene and tended to the victim, who ultimately died of his injuries at the scene.
Surveillance footage from a nearby gas station captured the violence. In the video, two men exit the bar and appear to be arguing. The gunman leaves the area then returns, firing a single shot at the victim at close range.
LAPD said the shooting, which involved a 45 mm caliber gun, stemmed from a dispute inside the bar. It’s unclear what that dispute was over.
The suspected gunman remains on the loose. He was last seen walking eastbound on 120th Street.
Police did not release the name of the victim. They described him as a man in his 40s, however.
