The shooting happened at around 6:15 a.m. in the 2800 block of W. Florence Avenue, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. 

Officers say that one of the victims, since identified as 34-year-old Christian Avenido, died at the scene, while a woman in her 40s was rushed to a hospital. At the latest, she's said to be in stable condition. 

Neither of the victims have yet been identified.
