Police Shoot One And Arrest 10 Others At A Party In South L.A.
One person was injured and 10 were arrested following a shootout with police at a party in South L.A. on Sunday.
The incident occurred at a house party near 99th and Hoover streets at about 10:35 p.m. on Sunday night, NBC4 reports. About 30 people attended the South L.A. party, which witnesses said was a memorial held in response to a shooting that had occurred at a party in Carson the previous night.
The event on Saturday was an adult pajama party held in a warehouse in the 100 block of West Victoria Street East in Carson, where about 80 to 100 guests paid a cover to attend, according to KCAL 9. Gunfire broke out outside the party at about 11:30 p.m. Davion Gregory, 24, was shot and killed, and two other men were wounded.
Sgt. James Linder described the South L.A. party as a "gang party," City News Service reports. Police say that as they approached a gathering of people in front of a home, several people fled and one man allegedly shot at officers. Officers fired back, striking the suspected shooter in the right shoulder. No police officers were wounded.
Police detained about 30 people using a Metro bus, KTLA reports. LAPD Officer Aareon Jefferson told LAist that in total, 10 people were arrested, including the man who was shot in the shoulder, and that a weapon was recovered from the scene.
