4-year-old boy is killed and a man is wounded in Altadena shooting
LA TimesInvestigators work Wednesday in the 300 block of Figueroa Drive in Altadena, where a 4-year-old boy was killed and a 27-year-old man was wounded in a drive-by shooting. Instead, the gunman may have been aiming for people he’d argued with about two hours before the 10:30 p.m. shooting, said Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department homicide Lt. John Corina. The gunman has not been located, but Corina said that “people are stepping forward, they’re concerned about what happened.” The boy’s mother is grieving over the loss of her son, Corina said. Salvador, she said, was also known as “Chavita.” Others said the child climbed the trees in the home’s front yard and liked to play soccer. “We hear the occasional gunshot, but nothing like this.” Shortly before sunset, a family friend walked outside the home and said that the child’s mother would not be speaking to reporters.
