A woman was fatally wounded and a man is in critical condition from a shooting Wednesday morning in Compton.
Homicide detectives detained a man as a person of interest in the shooting, who had been in a dating relationship with the woman, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Information Bureau.
The shooting happened a little before 12:40 a.m. in the 2000 block of West 154th Street.

Paramedics rushed the victims to an area hospital, where the woman was later pronounced dead and the man was listed in critical condition.
