The shooting was reported at about 3:30 a.m. in the 7000 block of North Fulton Avenue.

Los Angeles police officers arrived to find a driver with gunshot wounds who had slammed his car into a parked truck. The man, who was in his 20s, died at the scene. His name was not immediately released.

According to police, the victim was driving down the street when another car pulled up alongside him and a gunman inside opened fire.

"I woke up at 3 a.m. this morning to seven gunshots," resident Elizabeth Lehr told CBSLA.

The suspects were only described as two Black males, police said. There was no description of the vehicle they were driving.

No arrests have been made and there was no word on a motive. It's unclear if the shooting was gang related. There was no word if the shooting was captured on surveillance video.
