BALDWIN PARK — Authorities have released the name of a 31-year-old man who died early Friday after being shot in Baldwin Park.
David Anthony Deanda was pronounced dead at Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center just over the three hours after the 12:45 a.m. shooting in the 13200 block of Francisquito Avenue, sheriff’s and coroner’s officials said. His city of residency was not clear.
He was standing in a driveway along with two other men when a gunman approached and shot him several times in the upper body, Los Angeles County sheriff’s officials said in a written statement.
The attacker fled in a dark-colored Honda sedan with a waiting driver, officials said. He was described the shooter as a Latino man about 30 years old, tall and of thin build, wearing a gray sweater and dark jeans.
The shooting, which investigators said appeared to be gang-related, is being handled by the Baldwin Park Police Department and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau.
