Two brothers were killed Saturday afternoon following a shooting in Los Angeles’ Exposition Park area.
The shooting was reported at about 2 p.m. near Browning Boulevard and Budlong Avenue. Los Angeles Police Department Capt. Michael Lorenz said surveillance cameras showed the gunman and victims were having some sort of conversation just before the shooting.
The victims then got into a car and the gunman walked in the opposite direction before returning and opening fire.
“We do know he walked up on foot, and from what we just found out is that he left inside of a vehicle," Lorenz said of the gunman.
