One dead, one wounded in Palmdale shooting

PALMDALE – Sheriff’s homicide detectives are investigating a shooting in Palmdale that left one man dead and another critically wounded late Monday afternoon.

The shooting was reported around 5:37 p.m. Monday, March 21, on the 2500 block of Olive Drive, near Joshua Hills Park, according to a news release from the Sheriff’s Information Bureau.

Palmdale Sheriff’s Station deputies responded to the area regarding a gunshot victim call, and “upon their arrival, they located a male Black adult suffering from gunshot wounds to the upper torso. Deputies located a second male Black adult also suffering from gunshot wounds to the upper torso,” the news release states.

“Both victims were transported to a local area hospital. One of the victims, a male Black in his 40s was pronounced deceased at the hospital. The second victim, a male Black in his 20s, was listed in critical, but stable condition,” the sheriff’s news release states.

No suspect description was provided, and no further information on the circumstances surrounding the shooting was immediately available Tuesday morning.

Anyone with information on this shooting is encouraged to contact the Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau at 323-890-5500.

      From the lips of the all-knowing mayor Raymond Rex Parris:
      “Good things happen when you’re able to increase your Asian population to a certain threshold: Crime rates go down, education levels go up,” Parris told Vice. “Interestingly, the same thing happens with the gays.”

        I can’t believe I agree with Wrecks, but my experience growing up in NYC leads me to believe both statements are true. Both demographics were great neighbors as far as I’m concerned.

        Wow. I think it was actually a father and stepson shot by a baby momma and took a 2 year old if I remember the story right. But u go with yours, I know it fits your narrative better.

        Or perhaps y’all both are ignorant. Regardless of what they were doing lives were lost, have some respect for the families because had of been someone in yours…… you would be sick right now

          Right on bossy! My family had to go through a broadcasted death and what the news was releasing was not the actual story. They do this to protect the case. It hurts seeing all these people talking and not knowing anything. Be respectful, someone lost their life!
