A man in his late 20s was killed Saturday afternoon in a drive-by shooting in an alley behind a strip mall in Valley Village, Los Angeles police said.

The victim was walking in the alley just east of Whitsett Avenue, behind the strip mall on the southeast corner of Whitsett and Burbank Boulevard, at around 6:54 p.m. on Saturday when a group of men pulled up in a vehicle.

The men fired at the victim from inside the vehicle, striking him at least once. Then the men fled.

Police found the victim with a gunshot wound and paramedics transported to a nearby hospital, where he died, according to the Los Angeles Police Department and reports from the scene.

Officer Rosario Cervantes said there were multiple men inside the vehicle. But no description of the men or the vehicle they were driving was available Sunday.
