Bicyclist Shot Riding in South LA

Los Angeles Times article

Man riding bike is shot to death in South L.A.

A second cyclist is targeted in the drive-by shooting, but his wallet deflects the bullet.

By Molly Hennessy-Fiske
Los Angeles Times Staff Writer

11:41 AM PDT, April 29, 2008

A wallet in a man's back pocket shielded him from injury early this morning in a drive-by shooting in South Los Angeles that left a 37-year-old man dead, authorities said today.

The uninjured man, whose name and age have not been released, was riding a bicycle alongside Travon Lee Gentry, in the 200 block of East 52nd Street about 1:40 a.m. when a blue Chevy Malibu pulled up alongside them and two men inside began shooting, said Los Angeles police spokesman Richard French.

Gentry was shot in the back and neck and died at the scene, Los Angeles County Coroner's Capt. Ed Winter said.

The other man was shot in the buttocks, but his wallet stopped the bullet, French said. Authorities did not immediately have further details about the type of wallet or how it deflected the shot.

No arrests had been made this morning in connection with the shooting, and police had not released descriptions of the gunmen.

 was this a random act of senseless violence, or did the shooters know the victims?

 This is just a mile or two south of USC, not too far from downtown LA.

 I have a feeling this is part of the rise in killing initiations... Absolutely incorrigible inhuman behavior. WTF?!?

 what's wrong with super nintendo?? when have you EVER seen Mario or Luigi sporting a gloc?

remember last year when there was a rash of highway shootings ? I think it's that time again when gangs are doing initiations.

be safe everyone. this sucks.

 I got jumped for a gang initiation back in high school, and thankfully the SanFers or Pacas, whoever they were, were still using switchblades back then rather than guns. I got off easy, just 4 days in the hospital.

 Most of these "initiations" are urban legends, people. Believe me, there are plenty of reasons in the gang world (and we don't even know whether this was gang related) to shoot people besides getting initiated.

 "Most of these "initiations" are urban legends,"

True. But in my case there's not much other explanation. I was the first kid leaving school, the kids who jumped me definitely weren't from my high school, the one kid stabbed me, they ran off, and jumped in a car. That was it. No request for money, no hint that it was a case of mistaken identity, nothing.

Stab and go.
