A man was shot to death Saturday morning in the parking lot of St. John Bosco High School in Bellflower, where he came to watch his son play in a youth football game at the school stadium, authorities said.

The victim was sitting inside a white Audi that had been reported stolen, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said, and when deputies arrived around 8:20 a.m., they found him in the car suffering from gunshot wounds alongside a female passenger who was uninjured.

The man was rushed to a hospital but died. Authorities said the suspect fled the scene in a white sedan heading south on Bellflower Boulevard.
