A 39-year-old man was fatally shot on a Metro train in the Baldwin Hills area Friday evening, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
Police were called to the 5600 block of Jefferson Boulevard — near the La Cienega/Jefferson station of the E Line — around 7:40 p.m., according to Officer Drake Madison, a spokesman for the department. The shooting followed an altercation between the victim and four male suspects that 'culminated on the train,' he said. One of the suspects produced a firearm and fired at the victim, he said.
The suspects were described as between the ages of 15 and 20 and were seen fleeing the area on foot or possibly on skateboards, Madison said. Paramedics from the Los Angeles Fire Department responded to the incident, but the victim was declared dead at the scene, Madison said. It was not immediately clear whether the incident was gang-related, he said. As of 10 p.m.
