MONTEBELLO -- Police sought a killer Sunday who shot a man to death in a residential neighborhood.
Jesus Antonio Castro, 33, of Montebello died in the shooting, coroner's officials said.
Few details were initially available about the shooting, which was reported about 1:08 a.m. in the 700 block of Via Altamira, Montebello police Lt. Rick Rojas said.
After receiving numerous 9-1-1 calls reporting gunshots, "Officers responded and found a male adult in the street who appeared to have been shot," the lieutenant said.
It was determined Castro had been shot multiple times, officials said. Montebello Fire Department paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene.
No suspects were in custody, no description of the shooter was available and no motive in the shooting was known Sunday afternoon, police said.
