A shooting in Boyle Heights on Monday left one man dead and sent another to the hospital.
Police told The Los Angeles Times gunshots were reported around 4 p.m. in the 900 block of South Bernal Avenue, a residential street near the busy intersection of Whittier Blvd. and Lorena Street. When officers arrived at the scene they found the two men shot: one was pronounced dead on the scene and the other was transported to a nearby hospital.
