The person was identified as a man in his 40s who was shot in the head. He died at the scene.
A woman who said she is the girlfriend to the man who was shot told NBCLA that she spoke on the phone with him Monday morning.
“I was talking to my boyfriend on the phone when he just told me he was going to go into work already,” the woman, who asked not to be identified, said. “We were about to hang up when I heard him say, ‘Hey, hey,” and that was the last thing I heard from him. I didn’t hear anything else. Somebody else answered telling me he had been shot in the head.”
Police said there was evidence of several gunshots.
More details about the shooting were not immediately available. No arrests were reported early Monday.
