The victim, whose name has not yet been released, suffered gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene.
No information on the suspect and the cause of the shooting has been released.
Saturday night’s shooting was the second time a person was shot and killed at a gas station in the city of Pico Rivera in less than a week.
