The crowd had gathered near a Lawndale elementary school to mark the death of another teenager who was killed by gunfire two years earlier.
  • On April 27, also about 2 1/2 miles away, four people were standing on a sidewalk in the 4400 block of West Jackson Boulevard when someone fired from a white sedan, police said.
