A 20-year-old man sitting in a car in a South Los Angeles restaurant parking lot suffered a gunshot wound to an arm tonight in what appears to be a gang-related shooting, police said.
It happened just after 9 p.m. outside a Louisiana Fried Chicken near the intersection of Manchester and Normandie avenues, police Sgt. Thomas Bojorquez said.
“The victim was sitting in his car when he was approached by a number of suspects who opened fire and hit him in the arm,” Bojorquez said. “He was transported to a hospital and was last reported in stable condition.”
Based on the style of attack and location, Bojorquez said it appeared to be gang-related, but the victim does not appear to have any gang affiliation.
Police have no suspect information at this point.
Anyone with information was asked to call the LAPD’s 77th Division at (213) 485-4164. Tipsters also can call Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-TIPS. All tips can be made anonymously.
