Homicide detectives are investigating the fatal shooting of a man Friday evening in the Mission Hills neighborhood of the San Fernando Valley.
Officers responded to the 10400 block of Sepulveda Boulevard about 11:15 p.m. for a call about a shooting and found the man being treated by paramedics for a single gunshot wound to the torso, Los Angeles police said. They rushed him to a hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
The killer was still at large the next morning, LAPD said in a statement Saturday.
“Detectives searched the scene for witnesses and video evidence,” the LAPD statement read. “The investigation revealed that a lone male suspect walked up to the victim in the rear parking lot of this retail location. The lone male suspect shot the male victim and fled the area.”
Police have not yet released the victim’s identity pending notification of next of kin.
