BASSETT - A man was killed and another wounded early Sunday in a shooting in an equestrian neighborhood, authorities said.

The incident was reported about 6:30 a.m. in the 2200 block of Mardel Avenue in an unincorporated county area near Industry, Los Angeles County sheriff's Sgt. James Beamon said.

The dead man was identified only as a Latino man in his 30s, Lt. Dan Rosenberg of the sheriff's Homicide Bureau said.

His name had not been released late Sunday pending notification of family members, coroner's officials said.

No motive or shooter information was known Sunday afternoon, according to Rosenberg.

"At this point, we're talking to witnesses and trying to determine what happened," he said.

Deputies from the sheriff's Industry station were initially sent to investigate a report of a shooting, Rosenberg said.

"They found a male Hispanic adult suffering from gunshot wounds deceased in the front yard," Rosenberg said.
