LOS ANGELES—A 23-year-old man fatally shot by a group of suspects during an illegal street takeover in the Chesterfield Square area of Los Angeles was identified Nov. 20 by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner.

Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officers responded to a call at 11:57 p.m. Nov. 17 near the intersection of 54th St. and Manhattan Place, west of Western Ave., the LAPD said.
