LOS ANGELES (AP) -- A Los Angeles Dodgers fan was shot and killed by a San Francisco Giants fan following a dispute in the parking lot after Friday night's game, police said.

``Apparently we have multiple suspects who are Giants fans who got into an argument with a Dodger fan,'' police spokeswoman Adriana Sanchez said. ``One of the suspects shot the Dodger fan and then fled the location.''

The victim, who was not identified, was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead, Sanchez said. He was shot in the torso about 10 p.m. as people were leaving the game, which the Giants won 6-4.

Police searched the sprawling Dodger Stadium parking lot in the hills north of downtown late into the evening.

Nice :hmm: And people wonder why I prefer living in the country with more animals around me than people.

Oh, sorry. I double posted.

Talk about unnecessary.:angry:

Unfrigginbelievable. That guy needs to be drawn and courted. Public stoning in downtown LA. Be forced to watch every remaining Tigers or Mets game. Stand on the field during batting practice with a bullseye on his had. Might as well throw in castration for good measure.

Makes me hate the Giants even more......

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Three people were arrested Saturday in the death of a Los Angeles Dodgers fan who was shot during a stadium parking lot dispute after attending a Dodgers-Giants game, police said.

A police spokeswoman said late Friday that the fight was between feuding fans and that the shooter was rooting for the San Francisco Giants. But police said Saturday they were still investigating the motive and that it was unclear whether baseball was the issue.

Mark Antenorcruz, 25, of Covina, was shot once in the upper body about 10 p.m. Friday as he headed for his car after attending the game, police and county coroner's Lt. Gary Kellerman said. He was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Police spokeswoman Lucy Diaz said Saturday that the victim had been in a shouting match with the three suspects, two men and one woman, and that one of the suspects went to his car, pulled out a handgun and fired.

One of Antenorcruz's companions told a passing driver about the shooting and the driver pursued the suspects' vehicle and wrote down its license plate number. Police used it to track down the suspects.

Diaz said it was unclear what charges would be filed.

Neither baseball team commented on the shooting.

The Giants, who won the game 6-4, had already clinched the NL West on Wednesday. Friday's loss, meanwhile, dropped the Dodgers three games behind Philadelphia in the NL wild-card race.
