Authorities are searching for those responsible for two gang-related shootings in Maywood Sunday night.
The first incident was reported in the 4000 block of 52nd Street at 8:20 p.m., according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
Deputies from the East L.A. station responded to the area on a shots-fired call and arrived to find a woman with at least one gunshot wound. She was transported to a hospital, where her condition remains unknown as of 7 a.m. Monday.
No suspect information was immediately available, but the shooting was determined to be gang-related and the investigation was turned over to LASD’s gang unit.
A second shooting was reported about an hour and ten minutes later at Slauson Avenue and the L.A. River, officials said. This location is just under two miles east of the site of the first shooting.
East L.A. station deputies responded to this shooting as well; upon arrival, they located a man and a woman suffering from gunshot wounds.
Both were transported to a nearby medical center with unknown injuries.
LASD officials told KTLA that the suspects in the second gang-related shooting fled the scene in a red vehicle, but it is unknown how many occupants were in the vehicle.
Officials elaborated that while both incidents were confirmed to be gang-related, they do not appear to be connected.
No further details were released.
