A 20-year-old driver was shot and killed in the North Hills neighborhood of the San Fernando Valley in what appears to be a gang-related incident, authorities said Saturday.
Marco Antonio Gonzalez was driving a white car on Nordhoff Street between Columbus Avenue and Sepulveda Boulevard about 12:40 p.m. Friday when he became involved in a dispute with the driver of a car beside him, Los Angeles Police Sgt. Karen Spencer and a coroner’s investigator said.
After words were exchanged, the suspect fired multiple shots at Gonzalez who was struck in the head, Spencer said. The North Hills resident was pronounced dead at the scene.
Spencer would not describe the suspect’s vehicle because she said it would compromise the investigation, which is ongoing.
