The Stanislaus County Sheriff's Office said it is investigating a shooting that left one man dead and two others injured during a Halloween party near Modesto.

Deputies responded around 12:27 a.m. on November 1 to reports of gunfire along A Street in the community of Empire, just east of Modesto, the sheriff's office said. 

When deputies arrived, they found two adult men suffering from gunshot wounds and began life-saving efforts. Both were taken to a local hospital, where one of the victims, identified as 32-year-old Juan Loaiza of Ceres, later died from his injuries. The other man remains in critical condition as of Tuesday evening.

A third shooting victim later arrived at another hospital on their own and is expected to make a full recovery, authorities said.

Witnesses told investigators that gunshots rang out during the party, prompting people to run from the area. Deputies have not located any suspects.
