A 51-year-old man shot and killed in what police said they believe was a drive-by, gang-related shooting in Boyle Heights was identified by the coroner’s office Tuesday.
Police were called Saturday to 2739 1/2 Wabash Ave., between North Mott Street and Forest Avenue, where they learned Andrew Gutierrez was standing outside a house when a car drove by slowly and someone inside it opened fire on him, a Los Angeles Police Department spokeswoman told City News Service.
Gutierrez was taken to a hospital by Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics where he was later pronounced dead, according to coroner records.
The vehicle involved in the shooting was driven from the scene, police said. There is no description of the suspect or vehicle.
