A man standing outside of a vehicle was shot and killed in a gang-related shooting in the San Fernando Valley, police say.
According to a Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson, the shooting took place at 12:30 a.m. Saturday near Vanowen Street and Woodley Avenue in Van Nuys.
“The victim was standing outside of a vehicle when multiple suspects approached him on foot and fired multiple rounds,” the spokesperson said. “The suspects entered a vehicle and fled in an unknown direction.”
The victim, identified only as a man, was pronounced dead at the scene by first responders. His name was not immediately released.
Video from the scene shows a white sheet covering a dead body outside of a donut shop in a strip mall.
Officials could not confirm if the decedent was homeless but did confirm the shooting was gang-related.
