The incident was reported around 9 p.m. Wednesday, June 7, on the 44100 block of Sierra Highway, according to a news release from the Sheriff’s Information Bureau.
“Deputies from the Lancaster Station responded to a ‘gunshot victim’ call for service… When deputies arrived, they located one victim inside a motel room, suffering from an apparent gunshot wound. Los Angeles County Fire Department paramedics responded and pronounced the victim deceased at the scene,” the news release states.

Wow I thought it just said robbery. Guess I’m not seeing the part where it was a drug deal. Not nice to start rumors since the victims families may be reading this and may not be true or even if it is just cuz they were making a drug deal does not mean that they’re mother or wife or girlfriend or sibling or child isn’t gonna hurt just as bad at the loss of their loved ones
Danelda Robbins says
By the way my most sincere and heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of the men who were killed
Tea says
Exactly. You said it very well. These people have no regard for others. They make assumptions and start rumors. And in agreement with what you said. Either way what does it really matter.

Fido gutachali says
It only means that the government will not have to use tax dollars on these two deceased men. They have only the fang to thank
Frank says
This place has much crime and I’m surprised city officials have not closed it down.

My condolences to friends and family. Truly heartbreaking.

Kings? Hahaha! Why do ordinary people use titles like “king” to refer to themselves or others? Do they think it conceals their mediocrity or lack of achievements ? You’re fooling nobody.
