Florence-Firestone shooting leaves man dead, woman hospitalized

A man died early Friday morning in a shooting in the unincorporated Florence-Firestone area that also left a woman hospitalized with a gunshot wound.

Deputies responded at 1:47 a.m. to East 64th Street and Wilmington Avenue, where they discovered the victims, who were taken to a hospital, according to Deputy Morgan Arteaga of the Sheriffs Information Bureau.

The 35-year-old man died at the hospital, and the 48-year-old woman was hospitalized in stable condition. Their names were not released.

“The victims are believed to have been standing outside of a motor home parked at the location at the time of the shooting,” Deputy Grace Medrano said in a statement. “It is unknown if they lived in the motor home.”

At least one male suspect was seen running from the scene, Medrano said. No further description was available.
