Jorge Garcia, a 17-year-old Latino, was shot and killed Tuesday, March 30, on the corner of 47th and Honduras streets in Central-Alameda, according to Los Angeles County coroner's records.
Garcia, a 38th Street gang member, was standing across the street from Honduras Park about 10 a.m. when he was confronted by a rival gang member and shot, said Det. Julio Benavidas of the LAPD Newton Division.
The victim was taken to California Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 10:27 a.m., according to coroner's records.
The assailant fled on foot to the Pueblo Housing Developments, where he was later apprehended after he discarded a weapon, Benavidas said. He was identified as William Reed, an 18-year-old black man and Bloods gang member.
A spokesperson for the Los Angeles County district attorney's office said Reed has been charged with one count of murder. He is being held at the North County Correctional Facility in Castaic.

Ricardo Lazarraga, a 15-year-old Latino boy, was shot in the neck Feb. 14 at 1531 E. 46th St. in South-Central Los Angeles and died two days later in County-USC Medical Center at 3:30 a.m. Feb. 16.
Police said two male Latino attackers had walked up to Lizarraga on the street about 8:15 p.m. Apparently mistaking him for a gang combatant, they shot him.
Another boy with a bicycle might have been with or near him at the time of the shooting, but he has not been found. Neighbors described Ricardo as a quiet boy who rarely went outside. "Just a senseless killing," said Det. Johnny Villa of LAPD's Newton Division. "The kid was not even a doggone gang member." Police are seeking any information, including anonymous tips.
