Two people were killed and six others injured in a mass shooting in an area of downtown Los Angeles early Monday.

Authorities said that the shooting took place during a music festival after-party around 1 a.m. Monday in the area of 14th Place and Griffith Avenue, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. There were reportedly multiple parties taking place in the area at that time.

According to the Associated Press, police arrived at an event promoted on social media as an ‘unofficial after-party’ for Hard Summer, a weekend techno-music festival held at Hollywood Park, about 9 miles (14 km) away in Inglewood. More than 50 people were said to be at that afterparty when police arrived at 11 p.m. on Sunday to shut it down, at which time officers spotted a person possibly armed with a gun enter a building in the area’s warehouse district, located in the 1100 block of the 14th Place. Following that person’s arrest at the scene, officers cleared the area but were called back to the same area after reports of shots fired around 1 a.m.

One male victim was pronounced dead on the scene, with a number of people shot. Seven people were brought to the hospital, where a 52-year-old female victim later died; two others were listed in critical condition, with the victims ages ranging from 26-62 years old. Local ABC affiliate KABC-TV reported that a 29-year-old man was one of the two people killed. Judner Derisso, the father of the man who was killed, identified his son as 29-year-old Gregory Derisso.

The 2025 edition of the three-day HARD Summer festival took place at Hollywood Park at SoFi Stadium on Aug. 2-3 with headliners Feid, Dom Dolla, Kaytranada, hard-driving Gesaffelstein and Sara Landry.

The Los Angeles Times reported that there was no information about a suspect or a motive, and no arrests have been made as of press time. Sn investigation is still ongoing.
