A cyclist was found shot to death on a bike path along the Los Angeles River in Cudahy late Sunday, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

A pedestrian found the man, who had been shot in his upper body, lying on the ground near Clara Street and River Road at around 10:53 p.m., sheriff’s officials said.

Deputies and paramedics responded and pronounced the man dead at the scene. Yellow crime scene tape surrounded the victim’s body and a nearby bicycle as investigators worked overnight to scour the area for evidence.

Early Monday, sheriff’s officials said there were no suspect descriptions and the investigation was ongoing.
