A man was shot and mortally wounded Saturday in the Watts section of Los Angeles.

The shooting occurred at 12:05 a.m. near the intersection of Wilmington Avenue and South 110th Street, an officer at the Los Angeles Police Department Southeast Division said.

The man, approximately 35 years old, was standing in front of a location when he was approached by two gunmen, men in their early 20s, who fired several times at him, said Los Angeles police officer Sally Madera of the Media Relations Section.

Paramedics rushed the man to an area hospital, where he was pronounced dead, Madera said. The exact time of death was not immediately released.
