Zhi Peng Hu, 47
Zhi Hu, a 47-year-old Asian man, was shot and killed Friday, Nov. 6, in the 200 block of East Garvey Avenue in Monterey Park, according to Los Angeles County coroner's officials.
The shooting happened after Hu walked into an employment agency and got into an argument with someone, said Ed Winter, a spokesman for the coroner's office.
That person pulled out a gun and shot Hu in the face, Winter said. The shooter is described in a Sheriff's Department news release as an Asian man.
Hu was shot about 9 p.m. and pronounced dead at the scene at 9:31 p.m., Winter said. Sheriff's homicide detectives are assisting Monterey Park police in the investigation. Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call sheriff's homicide detectives at (323) 890-5500.
