Police responding to a 911 call found the man about 12:20 a.m. in the 10000 block of Garvey Avenue and investigators later assisted, according to Deputy Oscar Butao of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

The victim, a Latino believed to be about 41 years old whose name has not been released, was taken to Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center where he died about 12:30 a.m., according to county coroner’s records.

Butao could not say what business the man was found near, but coroner’s records list 10325 Garvey Ave., the site of the Halcon Bar & Cafe. Bar staff could not be reached by phone this morning.

No one else was injured and investigators had made no arrests this morning, Butao said.
