PASADENA - A young man was shot Monday night and remains in critical condition at an area hospital, said Pasadena police.
Police found the 16-year-old lying in the driveway of an apartment complex at 431 N. Holliston Ave. with a gunshot wound to the head at 11:20 p.m., said Pasadena police Lt. Keith Jones.
Police earlier received calls about gunshots fired in the vicinity of Holliston and Villa Street, Jones said. Witnesses told police they saw several male Latinos running from the area.
Police don't have any suspects in custody, Jones said, and don't see a connection with a shooting earlier Monday that left one man dead and another seriously wounded on Washington Boulevard.
Man shot to death is identified
PASADENA - Police have identified a man who was killed Monday in a shooting on Washington Boulevard near Summit Avenue.
Tony Anthony Walker, 37, of Pasadena, was the man who died at the scene, said Janet Pope Givens, a Pasadena police spokeswoman.
Another man also was shot and hospitalized; Givens identified him only as a 20-year-old Pasadena man.
Givens said Walker had a criminal record and prior contacts with law enforcement.
Police continue to investigate the shooting and are seeking more witnesses, she said, "but we have got a lot of good information to work with and we can always use more." The shooting took place at 1:53 p.m. on Washington.
PASADENA - One man was killed and another seriously injured Monday in what authorities called a bold daylight shooting on busy Washington Boulevard near Summit Avenue.
Pasadena police Cmdr. John Perez said the department received several calls around 1:53 p.m. about shots fired in the 100 block of East Washington Boulevard.
"When the officers arrived they found one individual who was shot several times and was deceased, and another young man who was shot several times but still alive. \ was transported to Huntington Hospital, where he underwent surgery," Perez said.
Police haven't confirmed the names of the victims, he added.
The body of the dead man leaned out of the driver's-side door of a gray, older model Mustang on the south side of the street. The car was surrounded by yellow evidence cones marking the location of spent bullet casings.
Washington was closed from Raymond Avenue to Summit.
Perez said police aren't sure if the shooting is gang-related or related to another shooting Sunday on Orange Grove Boulevard.
"It seems to have all the ingredients of a gang-related incident," he said. "But at this point we have not been able to confirm that yet."
Police don't have any information about suspects and Perez asked anyone with information to call the police department.
Drive-by shooting leaves man hurt

PASADENA - An 18-year-old man was shot Wednesday in what police believe was a gang-related drive-by shooting.
The crime was reported about 8:30 p.m. at a house known to be a gang hangout in the 700 block of Cypress Avenue, said Pasadena police Lt. Alex Uribe.
A white four-door sedan and a green van drove past the residence, where 15 to 20 people were congregated, when at least one of them opened fire with a semi-automatic weapon, said Uribe.
One victim was hit and received a "through-and- through" wound to his elbow, Uribe said.
He was taken to a local hospital for treatment and is doing fine, Uribe added.
Officials believe at least one member of the victim's group may have returned fire.
