Yue Zhao, a 56-year-old Chinese man, was shot and killed Sunday, May 31, in the 1000 block of South 5th Avenue in Arcadia, according to Los Angeles County coroner’s records.

Zhao was walking south on South 5th about 9 a.m. when a white sedan pulled up behind him and the driver opened fire, said Lt. Tom Cullen of the Arcadia Police Department.
