Man fatally shot in Rosemead
ROSEMEAD -- Detectives sought information from the public Friday in the fatal shooting of a man in a residential neighborhood.
The dead man was identified only as an Asian man in his 40s pending notification of his family members, coroners officials said.
The shooting was reported just before 11:30 p.m. in 3100 block of Charlotte Avenue, Lt. Dave Coleman of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Homicide Bureau said.
Deputies from the sheriff's Temple Station responded to a report of suspicious circumstances and shots fired, he said.
"They found the victim lying on the sidewalk," Coleman said.
The man died at a hospital shortly after the shooting, according to Deputy Ed Hernandez.
He was unable to give investigators a statement before he died, Coleman said.
The initial caller reported hearing a male voice calling for help and a gunshot, sheriff's Lt. Mark Glatt said.
A motive or suspect description in the attack remained unknown Friday.
Though at least one person reported hearing the shooting, no one reported seeing what happened, Coleman said.
"It's a mystery," he said.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Sheriff's Homicide Bureau at (323) 890-5500.
