Man gunned down at Hawthorne smog check business
I haven't been able to get much on this today, but a man was killed inside a Hawthorne smog check business last night.
From what I can tell, a gunman walked in to G & D Smog Check at 11862 S. Prairie Ave. at 6 p.m. and shot a man working there.
The Sheriff's Department is investigating the crime, but hasn't issued any statements yet.
*UPDATE: The Sheriff's Department has released nothing on this case and it's starting to look like that isn't going to happen.
All I know is this man's name is "Vicente," based on the "RIP Vicente" sign on his door. His neighbors said he was a nice guy.
