Lawndale homicide victim identified
A man shot to death last week in Lawndale was identified today as a Hawthorne man.
Zachary Michael Fellows, 19, was shot Dec. 29 as he walked with a woman at 7:45 p.m. in the 4500 block of Rosecrans Avenue, investigators said.
He died at a local hospital.
Deputies said a mid-sized utility vehicle pulled up near the couple. The driver got out, confronted Fellows on the sidewalk and shot him several times. He then returned to the vehicle and drove away.
The woman was unhurt.
Sheriff's Lt. Holly Francisco said detectives were investigating whether the crime was gang-related. Fellows might have some association with a gang, but it was not immediately clear, she said.
Deputies asked anyone with information about the killing to call 323-890-5500.
