A gunman went on a shooting spree in Los Angeles on Sunday, killing two people and wounding a third, police said.

The shooting spree, which took place along three streets, was probably gang-related, said Officer Karen Smith of the Los Angeles Police Department.

"The narrative is the same for all three shootings," Smith said. "A Hispanic male in a black truck drove by and shot the victims."

One victim died at the scene and the second was pronounced dead at a hospital, Smith said.

The wounded was taken to a hospital in stable condition.

Police have launched a manhunt for the suspected killer who drove away in the truck after the shootings.
