The victim, Randy Telles, 23, of Bell Gardens was identified today and police are releasing a description of the alleged shooters. Telles was driving down San Gabriel Avenue in a U-Haul truck and he was shot near the intersection of Missouri Avenue.

After he was shot, his truck rammed into a car, took out a gate and crashed through a carport. Telles died at a hospital about three hours later.

Sheriff's detectives handle homicide investigations for the South Gate Police Department. Right now they suspect that two men in a white SUV were responsible for shooting Telles.
