Man Shot To Death, His Son Injured In Paramount

PARAMOUNT

A shooting in Paramount left a 37-year-old man dead and his 12-year-old son wounded Saturday, a sheriff's sergeant said.

Ricardo Garcia Sr. was fatally shot in the 8300 block of Wilbarn Street near Anderson Street about 1:40 a.m., Deputy Rick Pedroza of the Sheriff's Headquarters Bureau said.

According to Pedroza, Garcia was sitting in a lawn chair when someone walked up and asked, "Hey, remember me?".

The suspect opened fire, striking Garcia in the upper body, Pedroza said. The gunman ran east, he said.

Garcia's son, who suffered a gunshot wound to his right leg, was treated at a hospital and released, Pedroza said.
