Multiple people opened fire in a South Los Angeles neighborhood Sunday, and police said one man was shot dead and another critically wounded.

The shootings were reported at 83rd and Main streets at 7:15 a.m., said Sgt. S. Vera of the Los Angeles Police Department’s 77th Street Station.

A large number of shell casings from differently-sized guns were found, and police believe as many as three suspects may be involved. They were on foot during the shootings, then got into a vehicle and drove away, Vera said.

One victim was pronounced dead at a hospital.

The other was taken by people in a private vehicle to a nearby fire station, where parmedics took over. He was then taken to a hospital in critical condition.

No names were immediately released.
