LOS ANGELES (CNS) - A shooting early Monday in the Gramercy Park area of Los Angeles left two men injured.

Officers were sent to the 1800 block of West Manchester Avenue about 12:20 a.m., the Los Angeles Police Department reported.

Two men were taken for hospital treatment in stable condition, police said.

No arrests were reported, and no suspect description was released. A motive for the shooting was not known, police said.

The shooting occurred near a taco truck, according to reports from the scene, but it was unclear if the crime was connected with the truck or with other reported robberies recently of food trucks in the South Los Angeles area.

One such crime occurred on May 28 about 11:50 p.m., when two men robbed a taco truck at gunpoint near 103rd Avenue and Avalon Boulevard, according to the LAPD. Security video was circulated of the crime, and police urged anyone with information to call 877-LAPD-247.

A pair of taco vendors were targeted in robberies late last week, one at 92nd Street and Central Avenue, and another a short time later near 103rd Street and Compton Avenue.
