One man was killed and another wounded in a shooting at a gas station in the Vermont-Slauson neighborhood of South Los Angeles Thursday morning.
The gunfire was reported shortly before 3 a.m. near the intersection of South Figueroa Street and West Gage Avenue, a Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson said.
Arriving officers found two men suffering from gunshot wounds down at the scene, the spokesperson said.
One of the victims, described only as a 35-year-old man, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The second victim, a man between 25 and 30 years old, was transported to a local hospital in critical condition.
Investigators have not determined a motive for the shooting and no suspect description was immediately available.
Witnesses did report seeing a black SUV leaving the scene, the spokesperson said.
The incident appeared to be gang related, LAPD Officer Lee said.
