Deputies are searching for at least one gunman after a man was found dead in a Rowland Heights neighborhood overnight.

The victim was only identified as a 34-year-old man from Hacienda Heights.
Deputies responding to the residence near the end of a cul de sac found the man lying on the driveway and suffering from a gunshot wound to his neck, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
The victim was pronounced dead at the scene. The suspect, or suspects, fled the location in an unknown direction.
Authorities have not announced a motive for the shooting.
