Recently In Local Murders

Welcome To The School Wk.

A search was continuing Tuesday for the person responsible for a shooting near a Wilmington elementary school that killed a 12-year-old boy and injured a woman and a 9-year-old girl, and the dead child’s mother said the assailant may have been “a kid.”

A teenager was killed in a shooting in Boyle Heights on Tuesday afternoon, authorities said.

Officers patrolling about 3:30 p.m. near East 1st and Savannah streets heard shots fired and found the victim at the intersection, said Officer Mike Lopez, a Los Angeles Police Department spokesman.

The victim, described as a teenage boy, was conscious but barely breathing, Lopez said. An ambulance arrived, but the teen had succumbed to his injuries.

Officers detained one suspect and set up a perimeter as they continued to search for a second suspect, he said.

Poor parts of town so no one gives a shit or expresses outrage.
