LOS ANGELES (KTLA) -- One woman was fatally shot and several other people were wounded when at least one gunman opened fire at a house party in an upscale Beverly Crest neighborhood early Tuesday morning.
Police responded to a shooting in progress call about 1:15 a.m. in the 13000 block of Mulholland Drive, L.A. Police Department Lt. Chris Ramirez said. Three victims, described as two females and one male, were found down in the driveway of the home and transported to a nearby hospital, Ramirez said.
One of the females, a Black woman about 35 years old, was pronounced dead at the hospital, Ramirez said. The other two victims were listed in stable condition.
Police had responded to the same residence about 6:30 p.m. Monday after receiving multiple disturbance calls. Aerial video from Sky5 showed the home was packed with partygoers. Everyone was compliant and the music was not that loud, so officers did not attempt to stop the party, Ramirez said.
Gatherings of any size are currently prohibited in Los Angeles County amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. However, officers did not go inside the Beverly Crest home because the event was taking place on private property, Ramirez said.
