The Los Angeles Police Department is on the hunt for a suspect involved in a Hyde Park shooting that left one man dead on Saturday afternoon. The incident occurred in the 5800 block of South Crenshaw Boulevard, where LAPD officers responded to a distressing radio call of a shooting around 12:45 p.m.

Upon arrival, officers discovered a male victim in his mid-20s to early 30s with a gunshot wound. According to the LAPD News release, the Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics were called to the scene, and they rushed the victim to a local hospital, where he, was unfortunately, later pronounced dead.
