A 19-year-old U.S. Marine shot in the head while on weekend leave in Los Angeles has died and police are searching for suspects, authorities said Tuesday.
(FOX)- Lance Cpl. Carlos Segovia Lopez died at a hospital Monday night, according to coroner’s spokesman John Cades.
The young Marine had been on life support since he was found Friday night slumped over in the driver’s seat of his car in South Los Angeles.
No suspects were identified and investigators did not have a motive.
Officials named the victim as Carlos Segovia Lopez, but a family friend, Claudia Perez, referred to him as Carlos Segovia.
“We ask everyone to please keep his family and Carlos in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time,” Perez posted to Facebook on Tuesday morning.
Perez told the Los Angeles Times that the Marine was visiting family and friends while on leave from Camp Pendleton near San Diego.
