A gang-related shooting in East L.A. claimed the life of a man early Saturday morning, and now authorities are searching for a trio of suspects.
According to the Los Angeles Police Department, officers responded to calls of a shooting near Williams Place and Valley Boulevard in the El Sereno neighborhood at 2:15 a.m., and upon arriving, they located a man who had sustained multiple gunshot wounds.
The victim, only identified as a 39-year-old Hispanic man, was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics.
“Further investigation [revealed] that three males approached the victim in his RV,” an LAPD spokesperson confirmed to KTLA. “One of them produced a handgun and fired at the victim.”
The suspects then fled in an unknown direction, the spokesperson added. No descriptions were immediately available, and the shooting was confirmed to be gang related.
