Los Angeles Police Department Southeast Division officers responded to reports of a shooting at 9:50 p.m. with two victims down at a smoke shop located in the 8600 block of South Figueroa Street.
An LAPD spokesperson told KNN that two males were inside a smoke shop when two males entered and fired multiple shots at the two male victims. They were both pronounced deceased at the scene. The suspects fled in a vehicle.
A large crime scene was established due to the large amount of bullet casings found at the location. It is not known at this time if the shooting is gang related.
