Los Angeles: Two South Los Angeles men were shot in broad daylight while walking on the busy sidewalk.
On Thursday, July 13, 2006, at 11:35 AM, Donald Hayes, 19, and a companion, 22, were walking out of a clothing store at 93rd Street and Broadway. A gunman was standing on the adjacent corner and fired several rounds at the two for no apparent reason. Hayes was shot in the torso and his friend was shot in the buttock.
