A 74-year-old man was killed Tuesday afternoon in the sporting goods section at a Wal-Mart in Lakewood, authorities said.
A suspect was taken into custody in connection with the slaying, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said. The suspect was described as a 47-year-old man.
It was unclear what prompted the slaying at the store in the 2700 block of Carson Street. Since January 2007, at least 18 homicides have been reported in Lakewood, according to a Times Homicide Report database.
No other details on Tuesday's slaying were immediately available.
