Apparent gang-related shooting leaves teen dead in Boyle Heights

A teenager was killed in an apparent gang-related shooting in Boyle Heights early Sunday morning.

The victim, described as a 17- or 18-year-old male, died at the scene after an unknown suspect walked up and shot him three times near Michigan Avenue and Chicago Street at about 1:45 a.m., said Sgt. Rick Colombia of the LAPD's Hollenbeck station.

Police believe the shooting was gang related but did not have a suspect description and no arrests have been made.
