The gunshot victim and his employees were writing down license plate information when the alleged taggers got out of their car, said Sgt. Alfredo Flores of the Los Angeles Police Department.
The owner told the two youths — each described as not much taller than 5 feet — not to tag his property, Flores said.
One of the youths pulled out a handgun, shot the man in the chest, got back in the car and drove away.
