Authorities do not know if the shooting was gang-related...

After a shooting claimed the life of a man in Westmont Wednesday morning, friends have identified the victim as 54-year-old Craig Batiste, a gang-intervention worker. 

The shooting occurred about 8:45 a.m. near the corner of 111th Street and Hobart Boulevard, Los Angeles County sheriff’s officials said in a news release. 

The victim was standing near the intersection when a dark-colored sedan drove up. A passenger opened fire on the victim as he ran away, officials said. An occupant got out of the car and chased the victim into a driveway and shot him. The driver got away and was last seen heading west on 111th Street and out of view.

  1. I suspect Craig learned something that made it safer for him to be dead than alive.
