Shortly after midnight, Martin was standing in front of a duplex with at least two other people when a person in a black hoodie walked up and began shooting, said Los Angeles Police Det. Chris Barling.

Martin was wounded multiple times and pronounced dead at the scene at 12:10 a.m., according to coroner’s records.
