Two men were shot to death early Monday by gang gunfire in a Compton mobile home park, authorities said.
There were few details yet available about the murders, but the gunman was seen running from the deadly attack.
The bloody killings came just after midnight in the 1900 block of West 156th Street, said Deputy Kelvin Moody of the Sheriff’s Information Bureau.
Both of the shooting victims were hit by rounds in their upper bodies, Moody said. One man was pronounced dead at the scene and the other was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
A suspect was seen running westbound through the mobile home park, he said.
“One of the victims is a documented local street gang member and the shooting appears to be gang-related,” Moody said.
Sheriff’s homicide detectives were investigating, he said.
