A man was fatally wounded in Huntington Park, sheriff’s officials said Wednesday.
The shooting occurred a little before 8:35 p.m. Tuesday in the 3000 block of Hill Street, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Information Bureau reported.
Deputies responded to a “gunshot victim” call and found a man with multiple gunshots to his upper and lower chest, said Deputy Navarro-Suarez.
The victim was taken to an area hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. His name was withheld pending notification of next of kin.
Detectives learned the suspect vehicle might be a four-door black or dark-colored sedan, Navarro-Suarez said. Investigators were examining the possibility that the attack was gang-related.
Sheriff’s homicide detectives asked anyone with information regarding the shooting to call them at 323-890-5500. Tipsters can also call Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-TIPS.
