Security guard shot and killed at Los Angeles area dispensary

A tragic situation occurred yesterday at a mid-Wilshire medical cannabis dispensary in Los Angeles. Three brazen thugs between 25 and 30 years old walked into the business around 3:30 PM yesterday. A struggle,ensued, shots were fired, and a few hours later an innocent young man was pronounced dead. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Gonzales family.

More details from the LA Times:

Authorities today identified the security guard who was shot in an apparent robbery attempt at a Mid-Wilshire area medical marijuana clinic.

Noe Campos Gonzalez, 25, of Los Angeles died of gunshot wounds, said Officer April Harding of the Los Angeles Police Department.

Gonzalez was working as a security guard at the La Brea Collective in the 800 block of South La Brea Avenue when “several armed” men walked into the business shortly after 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, police said. A struggle started, and one of the men pulled out a gun and shot the security guard. The men then fled on foot, Harding said.
