Man Killed, Two Hurt in Florence-Firestone Strip Mall Shooting

Investigators are seeking public tips to identify who opened fire.

Overview

  • Gunfire outside a strip mall on the 1600 block of Firestone Boulevard early Sunday around 1:57 a.m. left a 35-year-old man dead and two others hurt.
  • The area is unincorporated Los Angeles County, so the sheriff's department rather than LAPD is handling the investigation.
  • A security guard working down the block was hit by a stray round and was in critical condition by Sunday afternoon.
  • The second injured man was hospitalized, and local outlets differ on whether both survivors suffered gunshot wounds.
  • Homicide detectives shared no suspect or vehicle details and asked anyone with information to call 323-890-5500.
