Wilmington Shooting Leaves One Child Dead, Two Others Wounded

Wilmington―On Dec. 6, at approximately 4:45 p.m. the Los Angeles Fire Department and the Los Angeles Police Department responded to two shooting calls in Wilmington.

Firefighters arrived at the 800 block of North Eubank Ave where they found two victims suffering from gunshot wounds. The victims included a 13-year-old male and a 20-year-old female who was transported to the hospital. The unidentified male later died while the female victim was reported to be in moderate condition.

The LAPD’s South Bureau Homicide Captain, Adrian Gonzalez reported that a third victim, a 9-year-old girl, was hit by gunfire on the playground of Wilmington Elementary school on the 1300 block of Denni Street.

The victims are all believed to have been part of one shooting but the two fled to get away from the gunfire in a vehicle and ended up at the 800 block of Eubank where they were found by police and firefighters.

Additionally a hit and run occurred shortly before 6 p.m. near 500 East Anaheim Street. It was initially thought that this was related to the shootings, but upon further investigation, it was found to not be the case.

No suspect information has been released at this time. The police are asking for witnesses to please come forward.
