Cesar Diaz, a 15-year-old Latino, was killed and a 16-year-old youth was wounded Monday, March 8, in the 11200 block of Dronfield Avenue in Pacoima, according to Los Angeles County coroner's records.

The two youths were riding their bicycles about  7:15 p.m., when a car pulled up along side them, the Los Angeles Police Department said.

Someone in the vehicle asked, "Where are you from?" and then opened fire, Officer Karen Rayner said.

Diaz was pronounced dead at a hospital, Rayner said, and the other victim remains in stable condition.
