A shooting at a gathering in the Beverly Crest neighborhood of Los Angeles early Saturday morning claimed the lives of at least three people and injured four, according to police.
Beverly Crest is approximately 2 miles north of Beverly Hills.
Calls about a multi-victim shooting in the 2700 block of Ellison Drive came in around 2:30 a.m, the Los Angeles Police Department said in a statement. The home was a short-term rental property.
Officers found five victims with gunshot wounds. Three were announced dead at the scene.
The three dead victims were in a vehicle parked in front of the home where the gathering was, police said. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s office identified the victims as Destiny Sims, 26, Nenah Davis, 29, and Iyana Hutton, 33.
Police previously said the deceased victims were two men and a woman.
The four other victims were taken to local hospitals. Two were in critical condition, and two were stable.
The identities of the victims have not been released.
It was not an active shooter situation, Sgt. Bruce Borihanh said at a news conference Saturday afternoon.
No information was given about the shooter, but Borihanh said police are working on identifying the “suspects.”
Police ask anyone with information on the shooting to come forward.
This marks the fourth mass shooting in California this month.
On Jan. 21, 11 people were fatally shot at a Lunar New Year event in Monterey Park, a predominantly Asian South California suburb. Two days later, seven people were killed by a shooter in Half Moon Bay, and one person was killed and several injured at a shooting in an Oakland gas station.
