An investigation was continuing, but the shooting was believed to be gang-related, police said.<\/p>\n

[Updated at 8:53 a.m.:<\/strong> The suspect was wearing a blue hoodie jacket with the hood up when he walked into Alberto’s Barber Shop at 730 S. Alvarado St.<\/a> and shot Reyes as he sat in a barber’s chair getting his hair cut. No one else was hurt, police said. Anyone with information is asked to call LAPD homicide detectives at (213) 484-3650.<\/p>\n

Family members found Flora Fuentes, 71,<\/a> dead on the floor with numerous stab wounds after she failed to show up the morning of Nov. 24, 2007, to open the business.] <\/p>\n
