- Share via
A man trying to mediate an argument among a group of women Sunday night was shot and killed, police said.
Corey Johnson, 20, was standing on the southwest corner of Parthenia Street at Willis Avenue at about 10:45 p.m. when the incident began, said Los Angeles police spokesman Jason Lee.
Johnson was apparently attempting to quash the situation when the suspect intervened and shot him several times, police said. The suspect and three women then fled the scene, Lee said.
Johnson was taken to Providence Holy Cross Medical Center, where he later died.
