Police are searching this morning for two gunmen who shot and killed a woman in her front yard in South L.A., where she was with her husband this morning at 12:30 a.m.
The victim, Tynisa Guyton, was walking into her house near 104th and Normandie with her husband Anthony after going out to celebrate his birthday, Anthony Guyton told reporters.
"Me and my wife were just going in the house and two guys rolled and started shooting at us for no reason," he said, according to the L.A. Times.
The couple have three children. One of them turns eight years old today.
Sheriff's deputies ask that anyone with information call (323) 890-5500.
