A man in his 20s was shot and killed at a house party in the unincorporated Ladera Heights area of Los Angeles County and the shooter was at large Thursday morning.
Deputies assigned to the Marina Del Rey station responded to a shots fired call in the 5800 block of Holt Avenue, near Slauson Avenue, about 11:30 p.m. Wednesday and found a man in his mid-20s suffering from multiple gunshot wounds, according to Deputy James Nagao of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
An investigation determined the victim was attending a party at a home in the area when an argument occurred and he left the house, but was confronted again outside by the suspect and the pair began fighting. At some point, the suspect pulled a gun and shot the victim several times, Nagao said.
The victim was pronounced dead at the scene, Nagao said.
The name of the victim was not disclosed.
A detailed description of the suspect was not immediately available.
Anyone with information on the shooting was urged to call the Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau at 323-890-5500.
