Tragedy in West Hollywood:
In West Hollywood, a 68-year-old Los Angeles man died as a result of a road-rage assault following a minor collision in a parking lot. The incident began around 12:45 p.m. on Tuesday when two men were involved in a "minor traffic collision" in the parking lot of a convenience store located in the 7900 block of West Santa Monica Boulevard.
The confrontation escalated quickly, and one man assaulted the other, leaving him unconscious, according to sheriff's deputies. When paramedics arrived, they found the victim, later identified as Armando Gabriel, 68, from Los Angeles, unconscious on the sidewalk in front of the store. Gabriel was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
