A 52-year-old woman who was fatally shot in a possible gang related shooting was identified by county authorities Saturday.
The victim was identified by the Los Angeles Medical Examiner as Africa Johnson. She was taken to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Gregory DeRisso, 29, another shooting victim who was identified by the medical examiner’s office on Tuesday, was pronounced dead at the scene, police said. Both shootings were classified as homicides.
The shooting occurred moments after 1 a.m. Monday at 14th Place and Paloma Street, a desk officer at the Los Angeles Police Department told City News Service.
A 34-year-old man and a 37-year-old man were rushed to a hospital in critical condition, police added.
Three men, ages 62, 28 and 26 and a 28-year-old woman were all taken to hospitals by ambulance with stable vital signs, an LAPD spokeswoman said.
FOX11 reported the violence resulted from an argument at a warehouse party. ABC7 said it may have been an after-party from the last performance of the two-day HARD Summer music festival at Hollywood Park.
Information on the suspects was not available, police said.
