The Los Angeles Police Department bomb squad continued its investigation Thursday into an accidental explosion of a possible improvised pyrotechnic device that killed a 17-year-old boy in the South Los Angeles neighborhood of Vermont Knolls.
Officers responded around 9:30 p.m. Wednesday to the 400 block of West 84th Street, west of the 110 Freeway, where they found the victim, an LAPD spokesman told City News Service.
Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics rushed the severely injured teenager to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Police said the teen appeared to have been injured in the explosion of a possible homemade firework.
The bomb squad was expected to remain at the location for an extensive investigation, an officer said early Thursday morning.
