(FYI: I got an alert from the news division at the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Station at 12:15 a.m., and immediately "got on the horn" and got as much information as I could for our readers with Los Cerritos Community News.  Another brutal stabbing took place just blocks from this same location just months ago that took the life of a teenage boy and left another with stab wounds.  Too many killings in our community...way too many. )

(City of Norwalk, CA):  A 21-year old Norwalk man was shot and killed last night and two others adults were wounded in what Los Angeles County Sheriff Department officials are calling a possible "gang related" murder.

Sheriff Homicide Detectives are investigating the incident that took place on the 14500 block of Piuma Avenue in Norwalk yesterday, December 14th at around 7 p.m. 

According to Detective Rick Pedroza from the LASD, the three victims were gathered at the location just before 7 p.m. when a male adult approached them in an open garage and began shooting a rifle into the garage, striking all three victims.

Local fire department and paramedics arrived on the scene and all three victims were transported to a local area hospital where the 21 year old victim succumbed to his wounds approximately three hours later.  The other two victims are in stable condition and are expected to survive.

According to Pedroza, witnesses saw the suspect re-enter a light colored compact car (possibly a 1990's  Honda) which fled the scene heading westbound on Piuma and out of view.

The names of the victims have not been released, and the LASD are currently investigating all possible leads.  The motive in not yet known, but suspect is may have been "gang related."
