The 16-year-old was fatally shot at a house party in Covina on Saturday night, police said.
Covina police officers responded to the 600 block of East Camellia Drive around 10:15pm on Saturday after multiple 911 callers reported hearing gunshots. A large number of partygoers were gathering on the streets, and officers requested backup to disperse the crowds from Glendra, West Covina and Azusa police and help contain the crime scene, police said.
Witnesses told officers that an unidentified individual took a 16-year-old male party attendee to a local hospital where the wounds were injured, Covina Police Sergeant. K. Sutherland said. Hospital staff told officers that the teenager had died of injuries.
The teenager is believed to have lived in Lapuente, and he may have known those who took him to the hospital, Sutherland said. No other injuries have been reported.
No one had been arrested as of noon Sunday, Sutherland said. Covina police were pursuing a lead and stitching together the events that led to the incident.
Sutherland reported that some media outlets had reported that the event was a “back-to-school party,” but his department did not release any information on the nature of the rally.
Anyone with information about the incident will be asked to call Covina Police Det. Preciado at (626) 384-5622.
