LA detectives investigate fatal shooting in San Pedro

One person was killed by gunfire in the Los Angeles harbor area on Sunday, authorities confirmed to KTLA.

Officers with the Los Angeles Police Department responded to reports of a “man lying on the ground” and were dispatched to the 400 block of West Oliver Street in San Pedro around 10:30 a.m.

Very few details are available and it is unclear how the shooting occurred, but police officers who responded found the victim at the scene with a gunshot wound.

Footage from the investigation showed a heavy police presence, with part of the road cordoned off with yellow tape as investigators searched the area for evidence.

A canopy, normally used to cover deceased victims, was also seen on the neighborhood’s sidewalk.

No information was provided on the age or gender of the victim, nor a description of any suspect(s) in connection with the fatal incident.
