Two people were killed and six were injured during a mass shooting at a party in Los Angeles, ABC News reported on Sunday.
Police officers saw the suspect run into a location that appeared to have been hosting an after-party with approximately 50 to 60 people inside on Sunday night around 11 p.m., according to Los Angeles Police Department commanding officer Letisia Ruiz.
Police locked down the scene and arrested one person for possession of a firearm, cleared the area, and left for another call.
At around 1 a.m., officers received reports of shots fired at that location, Ruiz said. The officers arrived at the scene to find several people with bullet wounds.
According to local Fox News 11, witnesses say that they were celebrating a birthday near a warehouse at the intersection of E. 14th Place and Paloma Street.
All eight victims were adults, aged 26 to 62, with one in critical condition, according to local ABC News 7.
There is no information on the suspect and no motive, Ruiz said.
According to local news KTLA 5, video footage showed people screaming and fleeing the scene at the time of the shooting as officers arrived.
A witness said that the shooting happened after two women were fighting, according to Fox News.
Other witnesses say that the shots came from a red sedan.
Who were the two deceased victims?
One of the victims was a 29-year-old father of three, Gregory Derisso.
Derisso's father, Judner, spoke with KTLA 5 on Monday, following the shooting, saying that he was alerted to the shooting after receiving a phone call from a friend who said he had "bad news."
"His friend's mom called me, and I answered the phone and she told me [she had] bad news," Judner told KTLA. "She went quiet...[and said] her son told her that my son was shot."
According to KTLA, police pronounced Derisso dead at the scene.
Judner told Fox News that his son was a music producer who was supposed to be at the studio working, and he wished his son had never attended the party.
According to Fox News, the second victim, a 52-year-old woman, took herself to the hospital, where she later died.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass offered her condolences to the victims' families in a social media post, saying, "This senseless violence and loss of life is devastating, and those 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."
"I want to thank all first responders. Law enforcement is investigating this incident and working to get to the bottom of exactly what happened and prevent any future violence," Bass continued. "Gang interventionists are providing support for families and continuing the everyday work of keeping our neighborhoods safe. We will continue to work together to keep LA safe."
The LAPD homicide detectives are currently investigating the shooting and are interviewing witnesses and canvassing the area for more evidence.
