According to a report in PTI, the shooting occurred at 3 am on Saturday when the victim approached three men in downtown Los Angeles. His mother Scarlett Wactor said that her 37-year-old son had left work at a rooftop bar with a co-worker when he saw someone at his car and thought it was being towed. A mask-wearing suspect opened fire, his mother said.
