Los Angeles Police Department investigators are trying to piece together two separate fatal shootings after a man in his 50s walked into a police station Tuesday night saying there was a dead woman in a car in Koreatown, and at the same time he confessed to another shooting, according to police he died earlier today.
Officers responded to the man’s information around 10:24 p.m., and when they arrived in the area of Berendo and 8th Street, they found a woman with a gunshot wound in a car, and she was pronounced dead at the scene.
While police investigated the incident, the man at the station admitted to having a Mid-Wilshire shot earlier today.
A man in his 40s riding an e-bike in the 900 block of S. Victoria Avenue around 4:15 p.m. was shot multiple times and pronounced dead at the scene by first responders. Police believe the shooting was motivated by road rage, although the circumstances surrounding it are still unclear. Investigators said the suspect walked up to the victim, shot him approximately five times and then walked away.
The suspect in the shooting was described as a man in his 50s with a beard and an orange jacket, who fled in a dark blue or dark purple sedan. The man from the 77th precinct admitted to this shooting.
It is still not known whether the dead woman at the Koreatown location, about two miles from the Mid-Wilshire shooting, was shot there or if the incident took place elsewhere.
It is also not known whether the suspect has a connection with the woman. Police are asking the public for information about the incidents.
