Joshua Flynn, a 17-year-old black man, was shot and killed Monday, June 7, near Crenshaw Boulevard and 109th Street in Inglewood, according to Los Angeles County coroner's records.

Authorities said Flynn was walking north on Crenshaw Boulevard when two men approached him on foot and shot him.

Flynn was shot shortly after 5 p.m., said Lt. Oscar Serrano of the Inglewood Police Department.

"When officers arrived on scene, they found a male victim suffering from several gunshot wounds to his chest," Serrano said.

The teen was taken by paramedics to Harbor UCLA Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead at 5:45 p.m., according to coroner's records.

Through witness statements, the assailants were described as black males. The shooting, authorities said, appeared to be gang-related.

Anyone with information about the shooting can call Inglewood Police's homicide section at (310) 412-5246 or the anonymous hot line at (881) 412-7463.

@syscom3 You can say what you want to say-we all get that,but you are attacking the homicide victim-he/or she is dead and you keep saying how much "pain and terror he or she has inflicted on society" If you do not have specific instances of the individuals involvement in a specific terrorist act then stop lumping them all together. You don't have the right to be so cruel in your post just because YOU feel it is justified because some gang members are terrorist and do commit crimes, not all do. The police place a person under the title of a 'gang member" just because they live in a crip or blood hood-I know because they did it to me and I am not a member or affiliated with any gang- just unfortunate enough to have lived in a gang neighborhood. So stop generalizing and stop acting like your "TRUTH" is the only TRUTH.
