(April 16, 2019, 11:30 a.m.) -- A man (adult) riding a bicycle was shot/wounded, says it happened earlier that night (unclear if April 15 or after midnight April 16) as he rode westbound Anaheim St. approaching Obispo Ave. (a couple of blocks west of Redondo Ave.)

LBPD only learned of the shooting -- the second in the 4th Council district within roughly three weeks -- after the victim took himself to a hospital for treatment of his wound (at about 4:40 a.m.)

LBPD Public Information Officer Jennifer De Prez tells LBREPORT.com that officers canvassed the area in the predawn darkness but didn't find evidence of a crime scene; the victim's wound was described as non-life-threatening and "superficial."

There's no immediate suspect description; LBPD's investigation is ongoing.

It's the second Zaferia neighborhood shooting within roughly three weeks. At midafternoon March 26, shots were fired with casings found in the 2300 block of E. 17th (near Junipero Ave. just south of PCH) but no person appeared to have been hit.

On Jan. 18, a man was shot/wounded in the western portion of the 4th district just west of Cherry Ave. at roughly 15th St.
