A 70-year-old woman was hit with a graze wound in the shooting and was said to be OK.

There was no suspect information immediately available but LAPD was confident the shooting was gang-related.

Because the shooting happened in broad daylight, the LAPD was asking for the public’s help in acquiring information.
