The coroner’s office Wednesday publicly identified a 26-year-old man killed in a likely gang-related shooting in which another man approached on foot and opened fire.
The shooting was reported at 3:54 p.m. Saturday at 1526 E. 92nd St., near Compton Avenue, according to Officer D. Orris of the Los Angeles Police Department’s Operations Center.
Luvon Lucas, Jr. was approached on foot by a man in his 20s, who shot him and ran away, Orris said.
Lucas was taken by paramedics to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The shooting was believed to be gang-related, Orris said.
