LAPD Seeks Two Suspects in South L.A. Restaurant Shooting That Killed 1 as Fifth Victim Emerges

Detectives are working to reconcile conflicting accounts of how the attack unfolded.

Overview

  • Shooting erupted around 6:44–6:45 p.m. Sunday at a Louisiana Fried Chicken at Manchester and Normandie in the Manchester Square area of South Los Angeles.
  • Police say patrons waiting for food were targeted, with reports varying on whether two gunmen approached on foot or shots came from a passing car.
  • Four victims were initially found at the scene; a 36-year-old man died at a hospital and three men, ages 37, 46, and 64, were treated for gunshot wounds.
  • A fifth male, 20, later arrived at a hospital with gunshot wounds that investigators believe were tied to the same incident, though his role remains unclear.
  • Authorities say the suspects fled westbound in a vehicle, no arrests have been made, and investigators are canvassing for witnesses and video.
