LOS ANGELES (AP) – Three women killed in a weekend shooting at a short-term rental home in an upscale Los Angeles neighbourhood were identified on Sunday while police searched for suspects.
Four other people were wounded, two critically, when gunfire erupted around 2.30am on Saturday at the property in the Beverly Crest area, the Los Angeles Police Department said.
The Los Angeles County coroner’s office identified those killed as: Iyana Hutton, 33, of Chicago; Nenah Davis, 29, of Bolingbrook, Illinois; and Destiny Sims, 26, of Buckeye, Arizona.
Police Sergeant Frank Preciado said on Saturday that the three victims were inside a vehicle when they were fatally shot.
The shooting follows a January 21 massacre at a dance hall in a Los Angeles suburb that left 11 dead and nine wounded, and shootings at two Half Moon Bay farms on January 23 that left seven dead and one wounded.
Investigators were trying to determine if there was a party at the rental home or what type of gathering was occurring, officials said.
Police Detective Meghan Aguilar said the search for suspects and evidence was ongoing.
