The second of two men killed in a shooting in the Exposition Park area of Los Angeles was identified Thursday by the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner’s office.

Ricardo Rios, 19, was identified Thursday as the second man killed in the fatal shooting. He was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Sergio Rios of Los Angeles, 33, was identified earlier and died at the scene, Los Angeles Police Department Officer David Cuellar said.

The shooting occurred at about 2 p.m. Saturday in front of 1122 Browning Blvd., near the intersection of Budlong Avenue and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, and about a block from USC, Cuellar told City News Service.

Both victims were sitting in a silver sedan when a man believed to be about 35 years old walked up and fired multiple gunshots at them, then drove away in a white older-model Toyota four-door sedan, Cuellar said.

No arrests have been announced.

NBC4 reported from the scene that police said three men were talking before the shooting, and that the two victims were visiting a friend.
