An 18-year-old man was shot and killed in 1800 block of Henderson Avenue in Long Beach at 11:12 p.m. Wednesday, KTLA reports. Details were sketchy, but there was nobody in custody, according to the LBPD.

The shooting follows the opening of a community garden in the 1900 block of Henderson aimed at improving the area troubled by gangs and drugs. The Los Angeles Times wrote this week about that effort in this story.
