An investigation is underway after a man was gunned down in the parking lot of a warehouse-style grocery store in Southern California overnight.
Los Angeles police responded to the Smart & Final Extra! store on East Florance Avenue in the city of Bell late Monday night after receiving a call reporting a gunshot victim.
Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Lt. Omar Camacho said the shooting appeared to have taken place in the parking lot, although the victim managed to drive a short distance away.
Video showed the victim’s vehicle on Sherman Way just north of Florence Avenue with significant front-end damage and a shattered back window.
The victim, described only as an adult Hispanic male, was found inside the vehicle suffering from gunshot wounds to the upper body, Camacho said. He was later pronounced dead at a local hospital.
No description of the suspect or any possible vehicle belonging to a suspect was available.
The motive for the shooting is also under investigation.
