Sheriff's homicide detectives are searching for four Latinos involved in the gang-related slaying of a black man gunned down outside a liquor store in the unincorporated Westmont area adjoining South Los Angeles, authorities said

The black man was shot in the 10500 block of South Vermont Avenue, said Sgt. Harry Drucker of the Sheriff's Headquarters Bureau. "The victim was standing outside the liquor store when a dark-colored vehicle pulled up and stopped. Several male Hispanic suspects exited the vehicle and shot the victim multiple times in the upper torso," Drucker said. The shooting was gang-related, according to the Sheriff's Department. The Latino assailants returned to the vehicle after shooting the black victim and were last seen going south on Vermont Avenue, said Deputy Tony Moore.
