A man has died after being shot in the parking lot of St. John Bosco High School in Bellflower, where a youth football game was being held.
The shooting happened around 8:20 a.m. in the parking lot of the boys’ preparatory school, located in the 13600 block of Bellflower Boulevard, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
Officers say the victim was sitting in a white sedan when he was shot by an unknown gunman. He was transported to hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
He has not yet been identified.
A second passenger in the car, identified only as a woman, was unharmed in the shooting.
“At the time of the incident, a youth football game was in progress at the high school stadium adjacent to the parking lot where the shooting occurred,” the LASD statement said. “The victim had arrived there to attend his son’s match.”
Officers noted that the car the victim was driving, a white Audi, had been reported stolen sometime before Saturday.
The LASD says there may have been two suspects wearing black hoodies. The suspect vehicle was described as a possible Dodge Charger, according to police.
Anyone with information was asked to contact the LASD Homicide Bureau at (323) 890-5500.
