[Update at 1:00 p.m., Aug. 5: LAPD Newton Det. Kelle Baitx said it appeared Watson was not the intended target of the shooting. He said the shooter wanted to hit someone walking on the sidewalk, near Watson's car.

No one else was hit by gunfire.

Witnesses described the shooter as a male Hispanic driving a White Ford Econoline van that had no windows.
