Lynwood - A teenage boy was shot dead on Wednesday night and another was wounded in Lynwood. The shooting occurred about 7 p.m. at Imperial Highway and Hulme Avenue, near Lynwood High School, sheriff's Lt. Mike Rosson told reporters at the scene.
"There was a call of vandalism occurring, tagging on a wall," Rosson said.
When deputies arrived they found a 17-year-old boy dead and a 16-year-old wounded, Rosson said.
A tearful young woman at the scene told Fox11 the shooting was "outrageous" and senseless.
Anyone with information about the shooting was urged to call the Sheriff's Homicide Bureau at (323) 890-5500.
