Pico Rivera: Boy, 17, and man, 30, are fatally shot

October 22, 2008 |  2:01 pm

Manuel Angel Torres, 17, a Latino male from La Puente, was fatally wounded in a double shooting in the 3900 block of Aleman Avenue at 10:45 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 18.

The incident began when two men were talking in the front yard of a residence and several men in a car drove up, got out and confronted the victim. There was a fight, then gunshots.

Torres was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The other man, identified as 30-year-old John Shula, was pronounced dead at the scene. Los Angeles County sheriff's investigators believe the incident is gang-related.

Anyone with information is asked to call the sheriff's homicide bureau at (323) 890-5500.
