Teen Girl Shot In Drive-By Not Expected To Survive

COMPTON Authorities say a 16-year-old girl wounded in a drive-by shooting in Compton is not expected to survive.

The girl was sitting in a parked car in the 12800 block of Frailey Avenue when a gray sport utility vehicle drove by at 12:30 p.m. Several shots came from the SUV, which hit the girl in the upper torso, sheriff's Deputy Oscar Butao said.

Butao would not say if a suspect had been identified or what the motive for the shooting might have been.

The girl was taken to a hospital.

Sheriff's homicide detectives are still investigating the shooting, Butao said.
