Man shot to death in Lancaster Shopping Center Sunday night

by The AV Times Staff • August 8, 2022

LANCASTER – A man was shot to death late Sunday night in the parking lot of a Lancaster shopping center, authorities said.

The shooting was reported around 11:12 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 7, in the 1100 block of West Avenue K, according to a news release from the Sheriff’s Information Bureau.

“Lancaster Station deputies responded… regarding a gunshot victim call for service. Upon arriving, deputies discovered the victim laying on the ground suffering from a gunshot wound. The victim was pronounced deceased at the scene,” the LASD news release states.

Sheriff’s officials have not yet released any information about what led to the shooting, and the incident remains under investigation.

The victim’s name has not yet been released pending next of kin notification, but he was a Hispanic man in his 40s, according to the sheriff’s department and the coroner’s office.

Anyone with information on this fatal shooting is encouraged to call homicide detectives at 323-890-5500 or Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477.

    Really? Do you truly believe that?

    I’m a republican, but the Democrat comment is unnecessary and obnoxious. I’m sure whoever shot this guy did so because of the legislation, because that just makes sense? I’m being sarcastic of course. The POS that did this wasn’t thinking about Gascon when he did it. This wasn’t running out of a grocery store with less than 900 dollars of groceries. Speaking of voting, who keeps voting for Parris, a man who runs this town from a distance? It’s become so bad that he wouldn’t even live here. All under his leadership. Every night there are shootings and violent crimes happening here. It is increasingly getting worse and we are blaming everything that is very obviously not the problem.

      Dave you’d be surprised to know that many of the criminals in this county have become emboldened by DA Gascons supposed reform policies. There are jailhouse telephone recordings of criminals facing trails who are praising Gascon. One criminal went so far as to say that Gascon is so awesome, he was going to get his name tattooed on his face if he gets off with a light sentence. Seriously, this is literally happening, but everyone wants to stick their heads in the sand and pretend it’s not.

        LOL…Mike claims access to jail phone system. This clown has less credibility than Beecee.

          Uhhh don’t make us dig up the multiple jailhouse recordings of such events, including the Palmdale man messing with the kid in the bathroom of the restaurant.

            LOL…so you also claim to have access to the jail phone system? You and Mike are cut from the same zero integrity cloth. No wonder you were such easy marks for Trump to scam.

    LASD NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT ALL THE GD POS CRIMINALS IN THE AV

      LASD’s hands are tied. The voters created this rise in crime. They voted for AB109, Prop 47, Prop 57, and bail “reform.” Then they voted in DA Gascon who refuses to prosecute certain crimes in the penal code. You can change all of this by changing your vote in the upcoming elections. You can also call your local and state representatives and demand that these issues be addressed with revised legislation. LASD cannot make any of those changes. I wish the public was more educated on these matters.

        LOL…I’ve educated you on these matters before when you either misunderstood or outright lied about what the laws you mention actually say. You ran away with your tail between your legs. Now like a stray cur you come back with the same boring repetitive barking.

    It’s a daily thing now. The decline of the Antelope Valley continues.
