Los Angeles Police detectives were searching Saturday for the shooters who gunned down four people in three separate shootings in South Los Angeles.
Two victims were shot about 3:40 p.m. Friday, in the area of 82nd Street and Western Avenue, according to the LAPD.
Their ages, genders and conditions were not yet disclosed.
In one incident, police were looking for a man in his 30s or 40s who was armed with a handgun and last seen leaving the area in a gray four-door vehicle, headed west on 83rd Street, according to police.
About the same time, a man suffered a non-life-threatening graze wound when a suspect drove past him in the 7900 block of South Normandie Avenue and fired a shot, according to LAPD Officer Drake Madison.
No suspect or vehicle description was available.
Another man was shot in an ankle about 3:55 p.m. in the 1400 block of West Manchester Avenue, near Normandie Avenue, Madison said.
Additional details were not immediately available and it was unclear if any of the shootings were related or the result of gang activity.
