Law enforcement sources familiar with the investigation but not authorized to comment publicly say the shootings are connected and not random, but there is currently no information about the suspects or motive.

Four people shot and killed in southeast Los Angeles late Sunday and early Monday were not random victims, and their killings are connected, authorities say, although they are not sure how. The killings spanned a few hours in the cities of Huntington Park, Bell, Cudahy and Los Angeles, according to homicide investigators.

That shooting was reported to law enforcement at 1:52 a.m., but the victim is believed to have been shot around 12:08 a.m., homicide investigators said. The victim, described only as a man, has not been identified pending notification of next of kin. About four miles away, a 14-year-old boy was killed outside Ellen Ochoa Learning Center in the 5000 block of Live Oak Street in Cudahy. Javier Pedraza Jr. was shot to death shortly before 2 a.m., the Sheriff’s Department said.
