SOUTH LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A woman was shot and killed in front of her husband in South Los Angeles early Saturday. The suspects are on the loose.

Gunfire erupted just after midnight in the 1400 block of West 104th Street. Tynisa Guyton and her husband, Anthony Guyton, had just returned home from celebrating Anthony's birthday when a car pulled up and two men opened fire. Anthony Guyton told Eyewitness News while he and his wife ran inside the house for cover, the gunmen followed them through the front yard and began firing through the front door.

Anthony said he heard at least 20 shots fired.

Tynisa was shot in the upper torso and died at the scene. Anthony was not injured. The suspects fled in a dark sedan.

Tynisa leaves behind three children. The Guyton's middle child turned 8 Saturday. Tynisa was in her late 30s.

The suspects, described as two black males, were last seen fleeing eastbound on 104th Street.

The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with any information was urged to contact sheriff's investigators at (323) 890-5500.
