South L.A. Shooting Leaves 1 Teen Dead, 1 Hurt

SOUTH LOS ANGELES One teen was killed and another wounded in a Friday morning shooting in South Los Angeles, according to authorities.

Police say 19-year-old Luis Leon was killed as he stood on the 1400 block of West 58th Street Friday around 11.

Another teen, also 19, was shot.

Police said Leon and the other victim were shot by someone who stepped out of a black, four-door vehicle that rolled up beside them.

The suspect shot Leon multiple times.

Both victims were taken to area hospitals, where Leon was pronounced dead.

The suspect fled in the vehicle, police said.

Authorities don't have a motive for the shooting.

Anyone with information on the shooting was asked to contact South Bureau Homicide Detectives Ernesto Mendoza or Roger Guzman at (213) 485-1383 or (877) LAW-FULL.
