Four people were in custody Saturday morning in what Los Angeles police were describing as a gang-related shooting near a Mt. Washington park.

The victim was sitting with his girlfriend on the edge of Moon Canyon Park after 1 a.m. Saturday when a man accompanied by three women approached, according to police. Officer Liliana Preciado said the man asked the victim where he was from and then opened fire, striking the victim numerous times in the upper body.

The victim was in stable condition Saturday morning at a local hospital, Preciado said.

The gunman and his companions fled on foot, but were later apprehended, Preciado said. The investigation is ongoing and no charges have been filed yet, she said.
