(June 9, 2016, updated 4:10 p.m. from initial 7:15 a.m.) -- Two people were shot -- and one was declared deceased at the scene -- in the predawn hours today (June 9) in the area of 64th St./Coronado Ave. (between Harding/Artesia, and between Paramount/Downey). The crime scene is just south of Ramona Park and roughly a block from where a 16 year old boy was fatally shot on May 3 (3300 block of E. 65th St.)
[4:25 p.m. UPDATE:] In a release, LBPD adds that the decedent was Wylee Prichett, 20, of Lakewood. Although a motive for the shooting is still under investigation, LBPD indicates it is not believed to be gang related. [end update] LBPD overnight Watch Commander Lt. Greg Schirmer tells LBREPORT.com (caveat: initial information) officers responded to a shots call at about 4:00 a.m. in the area of 64th St./Coronado Ave and found two shooting victims; one was transported to a hospital and is currently in stable condition; the other victim was deceased at the scene. No immediate suspect information; LBPD Homicide detectives are on-scene. It's the sixth shooting -- of which three were fatal -- in various parts of NLB's 9th Council district since May 3. During this same roughly five week time period, Central LB had five shootings: three in the 6th district, one on the border of the 6th/2nd districts, and one at the western end of the 4th district (total includes two shootings with vehicles damaged but persons not hit.)
