Officers with the Los Angeles Police Department responded to calls of an assault with a deadly weapon and shots fired in the 7300 block of Vineland Avenue at around 8:45 p.m. 

Two men, one believed to be between 17 and 19 years old and the other about 20 years old, were standing outside near the intersection with Leadwell Street when the shooter drove by and opened fire on them, according to the LAPD.

Crews with the Los Angeles Fire Department responded to the scene and transported the victims to the hospital, where the teen remains in stable condition.

The other man, however, succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead at the hospital, the LAPD said.
