A man was shot Tuesday in the Crenshaw area of Los Angeles and taken to a hospital in unknown condition.
The shooting was reported about 11:20 a.m. in the 3600 block of Slauson Avenue, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
The victim was a man in his 40s, police said. The suspect, described only as a male dressed in dark clothing, was being sought. A motive for the crime was not known.
According to a videographer at the scene, the shooting occurred as people were setting up for a party to mark what would have been rapper Nipsey Hussle’s 38th birthday, although police could not confirm that report. Hussle was fatally shot in the same general area outside his Marathon Clothing store at Crenshaw Boulevard and Slauson on March 31, 2019.
Anyone with information on Tuesday’s shooting was urged to call 877-LAPD-247.
