Gateway Shooting Leaves One Dead, Another Injured

A shooting in Norwalk left a man dead and a woman hospitalized, authorities said Friday.

Deputies found the victims after responding at 12:12 p.m. Thursday to a call of shots fired at the intersection of Allard Street and Arlee Avenue, said Lt. Robin Limon of the sheriff’s Norwalk Station.

Allejandro Aguilar, 27, of Norwalk died at a hospital about 10 p.m. Thursday, said coroner’s Assistant Chief Ed Winter. The young woman, between 17 and 25 years old, was hospitalized in serious but stable condition, Limon said.

Neighbors at the scene said a silver or gray two-door sedan pulled up to the victims, a man in his 20s got out and opened fire, then got back into vehicle and fled.

The victims were walking along the street and had just rounded a corner when they were shot, sheriff’s Lt. Mark Christiansen told reporters at the scene. The motive was unclear.
