Police in Pomona are investigating four separate shootings happening throughout the last weekend. Three people were killed and two more were injured from Saturday night to Sunday morning.

29-year-old Angel Bravo was shot by a man who fired from a car next to his vehicle. The incident took place in the street at roughly 3 a.m. on Sunday.

"My son was a person who would extend himself to anyone. He would help anyone," his mother, Sandra Skinner tells KABC.

KTLA informs that he was pronounced dead when the Los Angeles County Fire Department got there.

"I was in bed and I heard two shots. […] I immediately jumped up to check on my daughter, and then I heard about four more shots.

"I could hear some screaming, so I came out here to see what was going on, and that’s when I saw my neighbor on the floor. It didn’t look like he was doing too well," his neighbor, Reanne Sanchez, describes.

24-year-old Isais Lopez of Ontario was walking in an alley with an 18-year-old friend from Pomona when they were both shot. Lopez was killed at 11:30 p.m. on Saturday.

45-year-old Jose Cerda was fatally shot the same day, at 9:30 p.m, on Lexington Avenue while riding his bicycle.

"What statement are these people making? [...] There's not a statement, and it's just so sad to me, but what is really heartbreaking to me is that that's my baby and now he's not here anymore," Skinner adds.

Pastor Chris Cotinola comments of the fact that police have made no arrests in the three cases.

"No one's been either arrested, or brought up for it, so there's a lot of unanswered questions, and there's a lot of family members looking around wondering how come there hasn't been any of that," he explains.
