One of Two Men Killed in Exposition Park-Area Shooting Identified

LOS ANGELES, CA — One of two men killed in a shooting in the Exposition Park area of Los Angeles was identified Monday by the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner.

The shooting occurred at about 2 p.m. Saturday in front of 1122 Browning Blvd., near the intersection of Budlong Avenue and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, and about a block from USC, Los Angeles Police Department Officer David Cuellar told City News Service.

A 33-year-old man died at the scene and a 19-year-old man was pronounced dead at a hospital, Cuellar said.

The 33-year-old victim was identified by the medical examiner as Sergio Rios of Los Angeles.

Both victims were sitting in a silver sedan when a man believed to be about 35 years old walked up and fired multiple gunshots at them, then fled in a white older-model Toyota four-door sedan, Cuellar said.

No arrests have been announced.

NBC4 reported from the scene that police said three men were talking before the shooting, and that the two victims were visiting a friend.
