Video from the scene shows a confrontation between the victim and a man with dreadlocks inside the garage. The victim then walks to the Lamborghini and appears to challenge a passenger. The original two men in the dispute and the Lamborghini passenger then walk outside the garage, where the argument continues and the man with dreadlocks shoots the victim, who crumples to the sidewalk.
The victim drove himself to a hospital, Madison said. Police said investigators were questioning the man at the hospital.
Police said the shooting suspect was described as 6 feet tall and wearing a white shirt and black pants. The license plate of the car he was driving was 8WWS816, the Los Angeles Times reported.
The suspect drove away in an unknown direction. Madison said the shooting did not appear to be gang-related.
