A drive-by shooting in Norwalk on Wednesday afternoon left a man wounded, authorities said.
The gunfire was reported about 2:35 p.m. at Pioneer Boulevard and 163rd Street, Los Angeles County sheriff’s Lt. Robin Limon said.
Without uttering a word, the driver opened fire with a handgun, striking one of the victims in the leg, according to the lieutenant. The second victim escaped injury.
Deputies initially described the suspect as a Latino man in his 30s with black hair and tattoos on his neck. He was armed with a semi-automatic pistol.
Limon said the gunman was last seen driving south on Pioneer Blvd., toward the 91 Freeway.
