A man was found shot to death early Sunday at the scene of a single-vehicle crash in South Los Angeles, police said.
The man, in his 30s, had been shot multiple times and was found at the corner of Vermont Avenue and West 53rd Street around 3 a.m., Los Angeles Police Public Information Officer Norma Eisenman said.
The man was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Two other people, who were not shot but were injured in the crash, were receiving hospital treatment, Eisenman said.
It was not clear whether the three people were in the car at the time of the shooting or the crash. It was also unclear whether the shooting caused the crash or whether it happened afterward, he said.
Police received calls about the shooting shortly before 3 a.m., and Vermont Avenue remained closed Sunday morning as the investigation continued.
