A man who was killed in a weekend shooting in Watts that also left three other people wounded was identified Monday, and the investigation was continuing.
The shooting was reported at 10:55 p.m. Saturday at 2100 block of East 99th Street, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
Kyimonte Johnson, 19, of Los Angeles, died at the scene, according to the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner and the LAPD. Three other people — a man and two women — were “self-transported” to a hospital for unspecified but non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
According to police, a group of people had gathered at a housing development to watch a sporting event when multiple suspects entered on foot and began shooting into the gathering, striking the four victims. The suspects ran from the scene and got into a vehicle that was driven away.
There was no immediate description available of the suspects or the vehicle in which they fled. A motive for the shooting was also unknown.
Anyone with information regarding the shooting was urged to contact LAPD South Bureau Homicide Division Detectives Rob Jamieson or Chad Scott at 323-786-5500. Tipsters who prefer to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477.
