Responding deputies located three victims at three different locations in close proximity to each other, the LASD reported.
One man suffered at least one gunshot wound to his upper body and died at the scene. His name was withheld, pending notification of his relatives. Two women were taken to a hospital, one suffering from a gunshot wound and one with severe head trauma, the sheriff’s department said.
