2 people dead, several others injured after shooting in downtown Los Angeles
Police are investigating a shooting in downtown Los Angeles that left two people dead and six others injured on Sunday night.
The Los Angeles Police Department said the shooting took place down the street from a party near Paloma and 14th Streets, where someone was arrested earlier in the night for having a firearm.
Officers received calls around 1 a.m. about a shooting. When they arrived, they found one person dead and seven others who had been injured. The individuals were taken to the hospital, where another person later died, and one person was in critical condition.
Police said two men in their 30s remain in critical condition. Four other victims were also hospitalized and are in a stable condition. Investigators said the victims who died were a 20-year-old man and a 52-year-old woman.
Father Judner Derrisso identified his son Gregory, 29, as one of the people who died.
The LAPD is trying to determine if the group of people from the shooting is the same group they encountered at the party earlier in the night.
Mayor Karen Bass called the shooting "senseless violence" in a social media post on X. She added that the people who are responsible must be held accountable.
"There will be no tolerance for violence in this city. My thoughts are with the victims and their families," Bass wrote. "Law enforcement is investigating this incident and working to get to the bottom of exactly what happened and prevent any future violence."
No arrests have been made.
