Paramedics discovered a person who had been shot and died in a Montecito Heights park last month, and the Los Angeles Police Department is asking for the public’s help in identifying a suspect in the killing.
The victim, whom the LAPD did not identify, was found by Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics at about 3:30 p.m. on Sept. 10 on a fire road inside Ernest Debs Park, located at 4235 Monterey Road.
Paramedics, who observed that the victim had been shot in the back, pronounced the victim dead at the scene and called for homicide investigators from the LAPD.
There is currently no suspect description, the LAPD said.
