A teenage boy was killed in a shooting that took place during a massive brawl involving nearly 50 teens.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) confirmed the fatal shooting occurred just before 4 p.m.
“Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Homicide detectives are responding to the 10800 block of Western Avenue, in the unincorporated city of Los Angeles regarding a shooting death investigation. The incident occurred on Monday, April 15, 2024, at 3:49 p.m.,” LASPD said in a statement.
As deputies arrived in response to the chaos, they found the victim, a teenage male, lying on the sidewalk with gunshot wounds.
Immediate efforts were made to save his life, and he was swiftly transported to a nearby hospital. Despite these efforts, the LASD later confirmed that the young victim was pronounced dead upon arrival at the medical facility.
Prior to the shooting, multiple fights had reportedly broken out among the large group of juveniles.
A video capturing the violent scene has since gone viral on social media platforms, showing the moment the suspect opened fire after apparently being attacked by several individuals.
The LASD has revealed that two individuals were detained at the scene, although it remains unconfirmed if they are also teenagers.
In California, minors are generally prohibited from owning or possessing firearms.

Race riots happened in the sixties. “Watts” ring a bell with you?
As to what happened ... the fifties and sixties happened. This riot is the legacy of the so-called “civil” “rights” “movement”.
RE: There’s some sort of pattern, does anyone see it?
Need more clues.

Kookie.
Do you also remember the goofy dame-—Sheila—who has been a LA COUNTY SUPERVISOR FOR YEARS?????
To make the world a safer place for innocent bystanders,
I hereby suggest that the US needs to make Public Dueling Great Again, especially for teens.
It’s, a matter of, Public Safety.

It's just that segregation was successful enough that civilized people would only be aware of it if they ventured to the back pages of their local newspaper.
I suggest you watch one of Thomas Sowell’s interviews in which he relates what life was like growing up in Harlem way back then. I can’t watch for you. I already did.
Of course, teens!
Gawd, don't make me laugh.
I have my own experience from Oakland and New Orleans.
Why bother? Generally, at least one of them is in jail already.
Of course I remember the Watts riots. My (Lilly White) family lived in Watts on 110th street - in the fifties. I don't really remember but apparently there was no problem at all back then. My parents bought a house in the San Gabriel Valley in 1960. That area has changed dramatically as well and is no longer safe.
I graduated from HS and enlisted in the Army a year after the riots and have not called California "Home" since.
I have mine from 1968 on the South Side of Chicago, lone undersized white boy, other than my siblings, in an all-black neighborhood with street gangs. But Thomas Sowell remembers Harlem as a black child in a poor family, from the 1940s and ‘50s. His reminiscences are highly relevant as to what has changed since then. He is one of the greats of the Conservative movement, besides.
When you hear about gunshots in LA, never reflexively think they’re black teens. There are probably more Latino gangs in LA than there are black ones and they’re just as dangerous.
