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 108^th 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.  

A worker died when he was crushed by a forklift in Los Angeles’ Bel Air neighborhood on Monday, officials said.

The accident occurred at about 1 p.m. at a construction site between homes in the 900 block of North Moraga Drive, where L.A. city firefighters responded to reports of a person trapped under a forklift carrying steel rebar.

Crews determined the man was “beyond medical help” and had succumbed to his injuries, LAFD said.

Sky5 aerial footage showed firefighters attempting to secure and stabilize the scene to assist the Medical Examiner in recovering the worker’s body.

No other injuries were reported.

The worker’s identity was not immediately released.

Drivers on a busy stretch of the 101 Freeway had their commutes heavily impacted by a deadly crash on Monday morning. 

Preliminary information indicates the crash took place around 5:20 a.m. on the northbound side of the 101 at Lankershim Boulevard in Studio City. 

Video from Sky5 shows multiple vehicles that had smashed into a truck carrying porta potties.

One person was pronounced dead at the scene, authorities confirmed, and according to KTLA 5 traffic reporter Ginger Chan, multiple victims were transported to nearby hospitals.

First responders on the scene quickly blocked off all but one lane for the investigation, and a SigAlert was issued for the affected stretch of roadway that could possibly last until 7:30 a.m., Ginger said.

The cause of the collision is under investigation.
