Man shot to death in San Gabriel

SAN GABRIEL - A man was shot to death Saturday in South San Gabriel, sheriff's officials said.

The shooting occurred around 1:15 a.m. near Orange Street and Grand View Avenue, said Sgt. Diane Hecht of the Sheriff's Headquarters Bureau.

Sheriff's Sgt. Bill Marsh told the San Gabriel Valley Tribune that the man had just left his home and walked around the corner when gunshots were heard. He said neighbors came out and found the victim lying in the street, shot multiple times in the upper torso.

The man was taken to USC Medical Center, where he later died.

Sheriff's deputies stopped a car matching a description given by a witness and took the driver in for questioning, the San Gabriel Valley Tribune reported.

The driver, a "person of interest," was not arrested, but detectives were investigating whether he or the victim had any gang ties, Marsh told the newspaper.

The weapon believed to have been used in the shooting was not recovered.
