LOS ANGELES – Two 22-year-old men who were fatally shot near a smoke shop in downtown Los Angeles have been identified, county authorities said Tuesday.
The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s office identified the victim shot near the smoke shop as Natvell Wilson and Enrique Diaz Jr. as the second victim.
Los Angeles Police Department officers from the department’s Central Division responded just after midnight on Dec. 28 to the Cloud Smoke Shop at 560 S. Los Angeles St. near Maple Avenue regarding a shots fired call and found a man on the ground with gunshot wounds, a LAPD spokesman said.
A second victim with gunshot wounds was found a few blocks away. Los Angeles Fire Department personnel responded and pronounced both victims dead at the scene.
A third man was wounded but did not cooperate with officers at the scene, police said.
There was no suspect description and the shootings are under investigation.
