Homicide detectives have learned that deputies from the Compton Sheriff’s Station responded to the 2100 block of South Santa Fe Avenue, Compton, regarding a “hit and run” traffic collision call. While deputies were responding, the call was updated to a “gunshot victim” call.
 
When deputies arrived they were directed to an area located just inside the property at Compton Community College located at 1111 East Artesia Boulevard, Compton, where they found the victim suffering from gunshot wounds.  The victim was pronounced dead at the scene by responding paramedics.
