BASSETT - A 41-year-old woman was also wounded by gunfire in a crime that left a man dead Tuesday.

Deputies with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Information Bureau initially stated that only one victim, a man, was found at the scene of the crime in the 13000 block of Valley Boulevard, February 23. A 51-year-old man was taken to an area hospital where he later died.

It was also initially stated that the man died at the scene, but that apparently was incorrectly stated by deputies.

The woman’s injuries do not appear to be life-threatening, deputies said.

There is no suspect information.
