Authorities claimed that two persons were killed and one was hospitalized in a triple shooting that occurred in an industrial area close to Willowbrook.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department reports that the gunfire was reported just after 8:30 a.m. on Thursday, close to the intersection of Rosecrans and Towne avenues.
When deputies and firefighter-paramedics got to the scene, they discovered two individuals who were dead in the parking lot of a building that housed warehouses and other commercial buildings. They were not identified right away.
“We have no motive at this time. It appears that there was some type of gathering or party at the location from last night to early this morning,” sheriff’s Lt. Omar Camacho said.
Detectives stated that the victims are in the 20–30 age range. The victim who survived is in stable condition at the hospital.

According to a close building’s business owner, the location of the fatal shooting is also rented out for events. A possible suspect’s description was withheld, and no arrests were declared.
“It’s too early in the investigation to figure out if we have a possible suspect detained or witnesses that we still need to contact,” Camacho stated.
Investigators could be seen inspecting a black vehicle with its front doors open that was close to the bodies in AIR7 HD footage. A forklift, semitrucks, and forty-foot shipping containers were parked close by.
