LANCASTER – An 18-year-old man was confronted by four males and then shot to death in Lancaster Tuesday afternoon, authorities said.

The incident was reported around 2:05 p.m. Tuesday, June 1, on the 600 block of Lancaster Boulevard, according to a news release from the Lancaster Sheriff’s Station.

“Investigators have learned the victim was walking eastbound on Lancaster Blvd. when he was confronted by four males. An argument ensued followed by the shooting. The suspects were last seen fleeing the area on foot,” the news release states.

The teen was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead. His name has not yet been released pending next of kin notification, according to the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office. No suspect information was provided by the sheriff’s department.

    Another reason to avoid the BLVD.

      The Bank of America branch closed on the blvd. WTF? It was there back when the blvd was a nothing burger. So much for redevelopment.

      Aven’s furniture gone.

      Remember BeX? Is the wine place still open?

      Has anyone counted how many businesses have folded since Rex “invented” the blvd…the Big Destination that people from all over were going to come and visit and then buy cars at the Lancaster Auto Mall. Yeah. That’s the krap Rex was saying back then.

      I passed by there recently and how depressing. A few blocks away there seems to be a more successful shopping/dining area where Chili’s is and some new restaurants near K and 10th.

      Who goes to the blvd any more?

      It was destined to fail from the onset and I said so back then. And, I’m not a rich attorney who thinks he knows everything?

      I can simply see with my eyes what doesn’t work. It’s not hard.

          The BLVD is a failure. This crime is just a sad tragedy that is part of the history of closed businesses, crime, homelessness, and a very poorly thought out process. Of course the good old boys made bank, so they don’t seem to care. King Rex enjoys his ocean views and could care less about Bex, Bank of America, Maribells, Gasoline, Buckets and Bolts, Barones, Brittneys, Hot Rod Dogz, Vintage Styles Now, and the plethora of other closed businesses on the BLVD of broken dreams.

      I most certainly agree, not only here in the AV, but everywhere within the US.

    How can the BLM mob blame this shooting on whitey or on the Lancaster Sheriff’s deputies?

    Must think of a way to make this shooting all about white privilege and wokeness.

    By the way, what was the race of the young man killed and his assailants? Swedish, Norwegian, maybe Islandish?

    More big city problems move into this once dusty town.

    Not on the Blvd. our City Council knows they will never be held accountable and the Mayor already knows everything so sit back and accept there is nothing we can do but stay away.

    “No suspect information was provided by the sheriff’s department.”

    None needed. It’s obvious.

      It doesn’t mean they don’t have the information they just don’t want to provide it they know exactly who this is because of their previous criminal record these criminals are already documented The gang members already documented they can go there and arrest the guy today they just don’t want to it’s not that big a deal to them. Job security since they know crime will never slow as long as minimal effort is expended.
