It’s unclear who eventually found the victim, but when officers, arrived they found a 22-year-old Hispanic man with multiple gunshot wounds at the rear of the home, a Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson said.

The unidentified man was pronounced dead at the scene.

Video showed several people gathered outside the home. Many of them were hugging and crying.

The victim did not live at the house where the crime occurred, but the detained man apparently did, authorities said. No further details about the victim or the suspect have been released.
