Fatal Pico Rivera shooting death of Marc Sweet.

Law enforcement agencies are examining two separate shooting incidents that resulted in fatalities at different gas stations within a short timeframe in Pico Rivera. These events, separated by only a few days, included a tragedy that claimed the life of a 13-year-old youth. In response to community grief, associates have confirmed the identity of one of the victims, identifying him as Marc Sweet, a 36-year-old coach for a baseball team who was widely admired.

The initial attack took place on the evening of August 21st, specifically around 9 p.m., at a Shell fuel station located at the intersection of Washington Boulevard and Passons Avenue, as reported by officials from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. Marc Sweet was the target in what investigators are currently classifying as a likely random act of violence, assuming responsibility for the first incident. However, authorities have explicitly stated they have no information linking the two tragic events to each other.

Further details regarding the second fatal shooting, which involved a minor, have not been fully released by the department. The investigation into the August 21st shooting has yet to yield any identifying information about the suspected individual who fired the weapon. According to preliminary reports, the suspect did not remain at the scene and is understood to have departed on foot from the area immediately following the attack.
