Mother and Daughter Shot Dead in Compton in Drive-By

LOS ANGELES (CNS) - A mother-daughter duo were fatally shot in a suspected drive-by shooting in Compton, authorities said today.

Just after 7 p.m. Tuesday, deputies responded to shooting reports at the intersection of Caldwell Street and Central Avenue, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.

Upon arrival, one woman was located in the street on the west of the intersection, and a second woman in a vehicle on the east side of the intersection -- both suffering from gunshot wounds.

Deputies rendered aid until the Compton Fire Department arrived, according to the LASD. The two victims were then pronounced deceased on the scene.

Investigators say the two were in their vehicle on Caldwell Street, stopped at the signal light, when a vehicle pulled alongside them and opened fire.

The suspect vehicle fled the scene southbound on Central Avenue, the LASD added.

The victims -- 45-year-old mother and 22-year-old daughter -- were only identified as Black women. Authorities withheld their identities until the notification of the next of kin.

Anyone with information regarding the death was asked to contact the LASD Homicide Bureau at 323-890-5500. Tipsters who wish to remain anonymous can call 800-222-8477 or visit lacrimestoppers.org.
