The decedent's identity is pending release by the Coroner's office; LBPD says a motive for the shooting is unknown and its investigation is ongoing.

Councilwoman Gonzalez to discuss public safety. Earlier the same day (Mar. 1), the 1st district had two shootings: one shortly before 5 a.m (area PCH/710 fwy, victim had non-life-threatening wounds) and a second in the 1 p.m hour in the 1200 block of Chestnut Ave. (unoccupied vehicle struck, no person hit.)
