Drexler Boyce, an 18-year-old black man, died Saturday, April 24, a day after he was shot on the corner of Beach Avenue and Venice Way in Inglewood, according to Los Angeles County coroner's records.
Coroner's officials were unable to provide details about Boyce's death because his autopsy is still pending, said Ed Winter, spokesman for the coroner's office. Winter said preliminary information indicated police believed the shooting was gang-related, although it was unclear if they believed Boyce was involved in gangs.
The Times will provide more information when it becomes available.
