Police say they are searching for three suspects connected to the shooting death of a man in Downtown Los Angeles in the early hours of Saturday morning.

According to the L.A. Police Department, officers responded to the area of Pico Boulevard and Hope Street around 3:25 a.m.

Around that time, a man observed three other men “removing property” from a location. When he tried to intervene, police said, the men turned around and shot him.

The victim, described only as white man between the ages of 30 and 35, was pronounced dead at a local hospital.

The three suspects fled the scene before officers arrived, police said. They remained at large as of Saturday morning.

No additional details were immediately made available.
