Weekend Overview

Over the weekend, South Los Angeles was shaken by a series of shootings, resulting in two fatalities and a critical injury. Law enforcement authorities are actively investigating the circumstances surrounding these violent incidents, which occurred within close proximity of each other in the Green Meadows neighborhood.

First Incident: Teenage Victim

The first shooting took place on Friday evening around 7:30 p.m. in the 700 block of East 108th Street. A 13-year-old girl was struck by gunfire while at home, sustaining severe injuries. Emergency communications indicated that multiple shots—at least six—were fired, accompanied by chaotic scenes of shouting by witnesses.

Despite efforts to save her, the young girl succumbed to her injuries on Sunday. Authorities have not made any arrests in this case, and the possibility of gang involvement remains unclear.

Witnesses reported that two men in a blue truck approached the victim’s vehicle and opened fire. The injured man is currently in critical condition and receiving medical treatment.
