One man was killed and another was injured Wednesday night in a shooting in Hollywood, authorities said.

The incident occurred about 9 p.m. in the 900 block of Hobart Boulevard near the Little Armenia neighborhood, said Officer Jason Lee of the Los Angeles Police Department.

One man was pronounced dead at the scene, Lee said, and the wounded man was taken by paramedics to a nearby hospital. No other injuries were reported.

The motive for the shooting was unknown.

The shooting comes just days after a double murder in the same area. Last week, a 15-year-old girl returning home from school discovered the bodies of her 43-year-old father and 8-year-old sister. Investigators in that incident have not determined a motive either.
