HYDE PARK, LOS ANGELES (KABC) — A man was fatally shot during an argument Saturday near a Metro Station in Hyde Park, authorities said.

The shooting happened around 12:43 p.m. on the walkway near the Hyde Park K Line Station on Slauson Avenue and Crenshaw Boulevard, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

Investigators said the victim and the suspect got into some sort of argument. That’s when the victim walked toward the Metro station platform when the suspect opened fire, shooting multiple rounds, according to police.

Police say the suspect may have been armed with a semi-automatic handgun. The victim, who has not been identified, was rushed to a local hospital where he later died.

The suspect, described as wearing a red shirt with a blue hooded sweatshirt and jeans, was last seen going eastbound on 59th Street from Crenshaw.

According to police, this was the fifth shooting on Saturday in LAPD’s 77th Division and the second murder.

“Metro extends its sympathies to the family of the victim,” read a statement from Metro. “Metro Hyde Park Station is currently closed while the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) conducts its investigation. K Line trains are turning back at Leimert and Fairview Heights Stations until further notice.”

The incident remains under investigation. Anyone with information is urged to contact police.
