PICO RIVERA — A man was shot to death early Thursday in a residential neighborhood, authorities said.
Sgt. Don Walls of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau said he appeared to be a Latino man in his late 20s, though his identity was not immediately known.
The shooting was reported about 3:45 a.m. on Amistad Avenue, just east of Woodford Street, the sergeant said.
Investigators were left with few clues at the scene, and no witnesses reported seeing what happened.
“Residents heard a (single) shot,” Walls said. They looked outside to find the victim collapsed at the corner of Amistad and Woodford.
A motive in the slaying was not clear, Walls said, however investigators were looking into the possibility of it being gang-related.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau at 323-890-5500.
