Man found shot dead in car in Arlington Heights

A  man in his 50s was found dead in his car with a gunshot wound to the head early Sunday morning in South Los Angeles, police said.

A woman, possibly the victim’s daughter, summoned police to the scene in the 2100 block of 2nd Avenue in Arlington Heights about 5:30 a.m., said Los Angeles Police Department spokesman Gregory Baek.

The “motive is unknown, and the investigation is ongoing,” Baek said.

He said the victim’s identity would probably be released Monday.
