Three people were killed and four wounded in a shooting during a warehouse party in Los Angeles early on Sunday, authorities said.
One of the gunshot victims remained in critical condition on Monday morning, according to Officer Jader Chaves, a Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson.
Detectives have not yet determined a motive in the shooting around 12.30am Sunday in the Boyle Heights neighbourhood. No suspect information has been released.
Blood stained the sidewalk and clothes — including a sneaker — remained on the street in the hours after the violence as detectives and forensic photographers documented the scene.
Two other victims were stable on Monday and the fourth has been released from the hospital, Chaves said.
