Man dead, girl wounded in South L.A. shooting

Investigators are searching for the gunmen responsible for the attack in the 800 block of West 97th Street.

Police are investigating a double shooting in South Los Angeles that left a man dead and a teenage girl wounded.

The man, believed to be in his 30s, died Sunday night at a hospital, where the teenager was in stable condition, said Officer Sara Faden of the Los Angeles Police Department.

Investigators were trying to determine who fired multiple rounds at the pair in the 800 block of West 97th Street just after 9 p.m., Faden said. Both victims were shot in the upper body.

Ed Winter of the Los Angeles County coroner's office said the gunmen drove by and shot the man while he stood in a driveway. It was unclear where the girl was standing, police said.
