LANCASTER – A man in his early 20s was shot and killed Monday in Lancaster.

The incident was reported around 4:28 p.m. Monday, March 21, on the 45000 block of 16th Street West, near Monte Vista Elementary School, according to a news release from the Sheriff’s Information Bureau.

Lancaster Sheriff’s Station deputies responded to the area regarding a gunshot victim call and “found the victim laying in the front yard of a residence suffering from gunshot wounds to the upper torso,” the news release states.

    You kids sound ignorant, negative and uneducated stop talking about it and do something. Your realtor isn’t responsible to school you on crime it takes less time to do your own do diligence CRIME MAP’S take less time than your nasty comments.

    … that particular section of 16th Street West, just south of Avenue I, we have a large group of section-8 gang-bangers, occupying one house. Everybody in the neighborhood’s scared stiff, walking down that street –

        Ok spud , enlighten us on urban culture. Do most gang bangers live on wealthier side of town or do they live in the areas with higher numbers of section 8 housing? I’m not sure where I see the racism in the comment. If I was trying to find it racist with my race lenses on I guess I could too. Also it sounds like they live on that street where the homicide happened….. maybe they know there neighborhood a little better than you.

    You’re correct! Realtors lie to make the sell. Even though you make it clear….we don’t want a home in the HOOD!!

    Unless, you’re purchasing in Quartz Hill and far West Palmdale.

      LOL…whatever man. If you want to make life decisions based on “well, I MIGHT be the one in fifty thousand” you aren’t someone I really want for a neighbor.

          West side of what? There was a triple murder just recently near 40th WEST.

          West side, East side, it’s all crime ridden ghetto.

            Define “crime ridden” mathematically please. I’ll wait.

            You may be waiting a while on that one, Tim. To tell the truth, I don’t think I could mathematically delineate when a given neighborhood would be, “crime ridden,” vs “overrun,” vs just a “bad neighborhood.” It IS rather subject to conditional interpretation: you just sorta know when you’re in such a place.

            That said, I’ve never gotten that impression when I’ve been in that neighborhood.
