The victim was shot in the torso with a semiautomatic handgun after an apparent argument, according to LAPD investigators.

This is so fucking tragic. Lost for words. Fuck man

🙏

Rip🙏

Come the fuck on man… RIP

Sad for the family..My prayers and condolences for the famil. May he Rest In Peace 🙏✝️

Damn, over some TB

'Meanwhile, two suspects were being sought in connection with the shooting, described only as males between 20 and 25 years old.' Hmmm 🤔 Great description 👍

But the gunman lives matter.

Rest In Peace. Such a tragic and senseless loss.

Absolutely awful

pedro_garcia42 Come on man is this what we doing now?

tacobell Y'all really just going to leave it up to the franchisee to provide support to the family

To win a fight u need 3 things: Skills, attitude, plan. He had the attitude (justice), he might have had the skills (to fight), what he lacked was a plan for what to do when the other guy, who has a say, pulls a gun.

God bless you sir, you are with your Heavenly Father now. 🙏💔✝️😔

This is so awful

RIP….😔🙏🏼

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Keep voting GavinNewsom , ericgarcetti ( MayorOfLA ), and GeorgeGascon for more of this. Expect a lot more, with most criminals walking.

To his family, I’m so sorry. Y’all deserved better than this. Hard working people deserve to be safe at work. Prayers 🙏

Missing description: black male, 16-21 yo, at least 5 priors, recently released from prison for good behavior 🤦🏿‍♂️

💔💔💔💔💔💔

No one is safe not even at work. People are just so eff’d up now.

Shame the police are too busy harassing and fining homeless people to attend to real crimes.

black it again mane

Catch the bad guy

I hope that mf gets caught! That's so fucked up man. Smh. RIP 🙏🏽

There Was a Shooting At a Burger King in Harlem NY, A Women Cashier was Shot on the Same Day

My god. 😢 There’s no where else on earth that’s more violent than here.

Take the fake 20 . Its not worth your life working and doing right at a huge corp . I would have took a fake 100 if something felt wrong

Eyewitness News on Sunday said the dispute started over what they believe was a fake $20 bill. That’s the way the George Floyd riots started! boycott

People with guns are getting restless just letting their pieces lay there. they feel like they need to use them now. So much senseless killing lately. Bless us all!!!

This is really sad. I hope they find the guy but don’t look like it’s happening.

A description of the vehicle and more detailed description of the suspects would of been nice for the public to know. Do better!

Damn a father & son working together & the son had to watch his dad die, what a wild story

He didn’t like them wings

Can someone please remind me again why there’s a staffing shortage in the restaurant industry? 🤔 Customers were bad b4. But today, they’re deranged

That’s just sad, RIP.

Wild Wild West

Cgriffin3323 they didn’t advertise this as part of the wings 😢

Selling them Bullshit wings!

Word is he was mad because he just found out they no longer have the mexicanpizza on their menu 😂

At least the police did not hassle the killer

there's no way that those wings are that good..

Sensitive bangers at it again

RMGNews b-b-but people on Reddit keep telling me the violent crime here in LA isn’t thaaaat bad, isn’t getting worse 🤔

Disgusting!

ABC reporting sex and age but intentionally leaves out the obvious factor….oh well. We all know the race. Male blacks 25 years. K.

You know it’s not racism to describe the shooters. Their age is is cute but simply telling me the location tells us what we need to know. Just unfortunate you choose to hide the description due to wokeness

Sick!!!! May the innocent person RIP!!!!💐

Now let’s see if it dominates the news and rally’s and protest and Al Sharpton speaking out like the case where the police accidentally killed that girl while trying to protect the public it dominated your broadcast last night.

Over some tacos? SMH

😳🔫

For $10 a month, Taco Bell customers can get one taco per day for 30 consecutive days. Some forgot to tell him.

WTH is wrong with people?

Absolutely awful. Will Al Sharpton be getting involved in this one too?

Just another typical viloent night in South Central L.A. nothing out of the ordinary here.

I would change gunman to human garbage. Killing someone because you can't use fake currency to buy food? Who gives birth to human beings like this? Given the location, I think we all get it.

I know we all probably might have heard about Bitcoin but don't know how it works, I tried it in a week ago by a man who recommended me to Dpurplewomanfx on Twitter she guides me through and i made a return of $10500 after a week of trading, connect with her Dpurplewomanfx
