June 21--Homicide detectives are seeking three suspects in the shooting death late Friday of a South Los Angeles taco vendor.
The shooting occurred at 10:50 p.m. when one of three men who approached the vendor on foot shot him in the face during a possible robbery attempt, LAPD Officer Liliana Preciado said Sunday.
