One man died and two were wounded early Sunday in a shootout outside a strip mall in unincorporated Florence-Firestone.
Deputies from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Century Station responded to a report of a gunshot victim around 1:57 a.m. in the 1600 block of Firestone Boulevard, the department said.
Responding deputies found two victims who had suffered gunshots while standing in the strip mall parking lot. A security guard working at another location on the block, and not a target, was struck by a stray bullet.
A 35-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene.
The other victims were transported for treatment of gunshot wounds. They were a 25-year-old in stable condition and a 27-year-old in critical condition.
A Sheriff’s Department spokesperson said the guard remains in critical condition as of Sunday afternoon.
Homicide investigators working the case provided no vehicle or suspect descriptions to the public.
They urged anyone with information about the shooting to call (323) 890-5500.
