One man was killed and another was injured Wednesday night in a shooting in
Hollywood, authorities said.

The incident occurred about 9 p.m. in the 900 block of Hobart Boulevard near
the Little Armenia neighborhood, said Officer Jason Lee of the Los Angeles
Police Department.

One man was pronounced dead at the scene, Lee said, and the wounded man was
taken by paramedics to a nearby hospital. No other injuries were reported.

The motive for the shooting was unknown.

The shooting comes just days after a double murder in the same area. Last
week, a 15-year-old Armenian girl returning home from school discovered the
bodies of her 43-year-old father and 8-year-old sister. Investigators in that
incident have not determined a motive either.
