Ladell Edmondson, a 20-year-old black man, was shot and killed Sunday, Dec. 19, in the 9200 block of South Central Avenue in Green Meadows, according to Los Angeles County coroner's records.
Edmondson was shot in the back about 10:45 a.m., said Ed Winter, a spokesman for the coroner's office.
Edmondson was taken to St. Francis Medical Center, where he died about 30 minutes later.
The coroner's office had no other information about the shooting.
The Times has contacted investigators to obtain additional details about the case and will post an update as soon as possible.
[Updated Jan. 3, 3:15 p.m.: LAPD Criminal Gang and Homicide Det. Mark Hahn, who is handling the case, said after Edmondson was shot, he was taken by local residents to the site of the former Martin Luther King Jr. Hospital, which has not had a trauma emergency room since closing in 2007.
The medical facility, which is now an ambulatory clinic open from 8 a.m. to midnight, was unable to treat Edmondson. Paramedics were called and he was taken to St. Francis Medical Center in Lynwood.
Hahn said Edmondson was a documented gang member and the shooting appeared to be gang-related. At this time, investigators are unable to provide a description of the shooter.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact Det. Hahn at (213) 485-4341. Tipsters who would like to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-8477.]

— ToastK4L, maybe his remark was a reflection on the fact that homicides in this killing field neighborhood is so common, it has become the norm.
The interactive map shows that there has been 52 murders within one mile of the location where the deceased died. That's approx. ten murders per year.
Or another way to look at it, is about 500 people whose lives were snuffed out over the past 30 years (far higher homicide rates back in the 80's and 90's). And that's only withing 1 mile radius!!!!!!!!!

-- syscom3 thank u for tha facts but other than that your blind to what BigEast76 is really saying, and its not your fault because you dont live in the environment as we do. But BigEast76 is basically supporting gang violence. If you think im just saying this out of stupidity do your research, its all in your face and you dont notice it. Example: when he mentions heading down central he says "Its a whole lot of FLOPPING going on in that area". Flop is a street slang for disrepecting a blood gang known as the BeBops, in which is the area that the decease has had his life taken and had been documented as being a part of. Now after taken that in the writer uses the name "BigEast76" which is in reference to one of the BeBops Bloods rivals 76st Eastcoast crips.... So when i made my comment, i made it so that Bigeast76 should know that speaking on the deceased in that manner is rude and un called for
