The shooting occurred around 10:10 p.m. Thursday near Bay View Avenue and D Street, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
Jose Quezada, 46, of Carson, died at the scene, according to the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner.
Quezada was killed as he was leaving a Summer Night Lights event at the recreation center, according to police. Two suspects, described only as males wearing dark clothing, were being sought.
"Our victim, who was a cook here, just exited and was here on the street when he was approached by unknown suspects who fired rounds at him," LAPD Capt. Keith Green told KTLA5. "Our victim was struck by gunfire."
A motive for the shooting was not known, police said. The Summer Night Lights events operate in more than 40 Los Angeles area parks and recreation centers to promote anti-gang violence and turn them into safe havens for families.
Anyone with information on the case was urged to call 877-LAPD-247.
