An investigation was underway Tuesday after a man was fatally shot in Koreatown late Monday night.
The shooting was reported near the intersection of 7th Street and New Hampshire Avenue around 11:30 p.m.
Arriving officers were initially unable to locate a victim, Los Angeles Police Department Lt. Radtke said.
A man who was suffering from a gunshot wound was eventually found down in a planter.
The unidentified victim was pronounced dead at the scene, Radtke said.
The gunman was described only as an adult male who was wearing dark clothing.
He fled the scene in a dark colored SUV that was traveling southbound.
No further details about the shooting, or the suspect, were immediately available.
