Man wounded in Montebello shooting
MONTEBELLO - A young man was shot and dropped off at a local hospital Wednesday, police said.
The man was shot at about 7:38 p.m. in the 100 block of W. Madison Avenue and then dropped off at Beverly Hospital by an unknown person, Montebello police Sgt. Ismael Navarro said.
The man, who was in his late teens, was expected to survive, the sergeant said.
Further details of the shooting were not immediately available, and detectives continued interviewing witnesses Thursday, Ismael said.
A motive in the attack remained under investigation, he said, though it initially appeared related to gangs or tagging.
