Azusa 13 member gunned down
Although we initially reported the unidentified man who was killed in this incident was from an unidentified street gang, officials now say the dead man was a member of the Azusa 13 Gang.
From Brian Day's story:
AZUSA - A man was shot to death early Sunday in a gang-related attack, authorities said.
The shooting occurred about 1:15 a.m. in an alley in the 100 block of Newburgh Street, said Los Angeles County sheriff's Deputy Rick Pedroza.
The dead man was initially described only as a 23-year-old Azusa resident pending notification of family members, said Los Angeles County
Department of Coroner Investigator Jerry McKibben.
He is believed to have been a member of a local street gang, Deputy Derrick Thompson said.
The man died at the scene after being shot several times in the "upper torso," said Deputy Derrick Thompson.
