Man riding e-bike fatally shot in Mid-Wilshire neighborhood

One person is dead after a shooting in Mid-Wilshire on Tuesday.

It happened in the 900 block of S. Victoria Avenue at around 4:15 p.m., according to the Los Angeles Police Department. 

Circumstances surrounding the shooting remain unclear at the time, but officers say that the suspect, only described as a man in his 50s with a beard that was wearing an orange jacket, fled from the area in a dark blue or dark purple sedan. 

Investigators say that the victim, a man in his 40s, suffered multiple gunshot wounds after he was approached by the suspect. He was pronounced dead at the scene. 

They believe that he was riding a mini-bike prior to the shooting, but it was unclear if he was in the act of riding or near the bike when the shooting occurred. 

"Anytime a murder occurs it concerns all of us," said LAPD's Samuel Marullo. "Especially when the suspects not caught. At this point, I don't know if it's random or not. I don't know if there's a prior history."

With SkyCal over the scene, it appeared that they were wearing work gloves and an orange work vest. 

No further information was provided.
