Prosion Young, a 39-year-old black man, died Sunday, Aug. 5, two weeks after being shot in the 1000 block of West 93rd Street in Westmont, according to Los Angeles County coroner's records.

[Correction: An earlier version of the post, based on information from the coroner's office, incorrectly listed the incident as having occurred in the Broadway-Manchester neighborhood.]

A preliminary coroner report shows he sustained a gunshot wound to the abdomen.
