Valinda area: A 31-year-old Latino man was shot in the 15800 block of Fairgrove Avenue at abotu 4:18 a.m. People nearby heard the crack of a single gunshot, then saw men loading the wounded man into a car.

South-Central Los Angeles: A 31-year-old man of mixed Latino and black ancestry was shot on a porch where he was sleeping in the 200 block of East 75th Street at about 5:15 a.m. this morning, July 22, in LAPD' 77th Street Division. His family, including his 8-month-old son, was nearby. He was taken to a California Hospital where he died.

.

Gardena: A black man was shot and killed by Gardena police officers in the course of what was described as a robbery call in the 1800 block of West Redondo Beach Boulevard at about 6 a.m. this morning, July 22.

Sheriff's Lt. Larry Lincoln said that the man walked into this Yoshinoya restaurant, open 24 hours, and menaced customers and employees with a gun. He hit one employee, a woman, in the head twice with the gun, and took a bag of money. Someone was able to hit a robbery-alarm button as this was going on. Several Gardena units responded. Two Gardena police officers confronted the man as he walked out of the restaurant with the money. They said he produced the handgun, Lincoln said, and the officers shot him multiple times. He was taken to Harbor-UCLA where he died. The woman was treated for her injuries. The man's gun turned out to be replica, so authentic-looking that, "we thought it was a real firearm until we took it to the lab," Lincoln said.
