Authorities continued an investigation Tuesday after a man was injured in a shooting at a candlelight vigil near Littlerock.
Investigators from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department responded to the shooting at 8:37 p.m. Monday at 116th Street East and Pearblossom Drive outside Littlerock, a spokesman for the sheriff’s department told City News Service.
The victim was attending a vigil for Andre Compean, a 20-year-old man struck and killed by a vehicle Saturday when an unknown suspect fired from an unidentified vehicle and fled, according to the Sheriff’s Information Bureau.
Bystanders took Monday’s victim to the Los Angeles County Fire Department Station 79, where he was treated for a gunshot wound to his leg. The victim was then taken to a hospital, where he showed stable vital signs.
Neither the suspect nor the getaway vehicle have been identified.
