A man was fatally shot in a vehicle attack late Sunday evening near Amigo Park in Whittier, authorities reported. The victim was discovered in the 5700 block of Esperanza Avenue with a gunshot wound to the torso and was pronounced dead at the scene, according to CBS Los Angeles.
Identified as 22-year-old Fernando Dominguez from Montebello, the young man's life was cut short around 10:00 p.m. as gunshots erupted from a passing vehicle. There were no immediate details from officials about a suspect or a vehicle description, detectives consider the shooting gang-related. This revelation comes despite the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department providing scant information, emphasizing the case's active and ongoing nature, a fact confirmed by NBC Los Angeles.
The Sheriff's Homicide Bureau urges the public for assistance. Anyone with information should come forward, by calling either the Homicide Bureau directly at 323-890-5500 or the anonymous tip line Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477.
