The Somerset Blvd. overpass of the 710 Freeway was closed for several hours Monday morning in Paramount as homicide detectives investigated a deadly shooting.
Around 4:11 a.m. Monday, sheriff's deputies responded on the bridge to shots fired and found a man's body, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
Paramedics pronounced the man dead at the scene. The overpass reopened to traffic sometime around 10:30 a.m.
On Tuesday, the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner identified the man as Juan Garcia, 43. No arrests were reported.
