PICO RIVERA >> A man clung to life after being shot multiple times in a residential neighborhood in Pico Rivera late Friday, authorities said.
The shooting was reported about 9 p.m. in the 9400 block of Bert Street, just east of Passons Boulevard, Los Angeles County sheriff’s officials said.
Deputies received multiple calls reporting gunshots heard in the area before they found the victim, initially described only as a man, suffering from several gunshot wounds, sheriff’s Sgt. Andrew Serrano said.
The man was taken to a trauma center in critical-but-stable condition, he said.
No suspect description or further details were available.
“It’s still very early in the investigation,” Serrano said.
A car was seen driving out of the area at the time of the shooting, but investigators had yet to determine whether it was involved.
Anyone with information can reach the sheriff’s Pico Rivera Station at 562-949-2421. Tips may also be submitted anonymously to L.A. Regional Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477.
