One person was killed and at least five others were injured Friday night in a shooting at a party in Compton, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
The shooting was reported sometime before 8 p.m. on the 800 block of East Greenleaf Boulevard at a home where approximately 100 people were in attendance. Neighbors told NBC4 the fatal victim was a man in his 20s -- the son of the homeowner."That kid was a sweet kid," said Janet Earl, a neighbor."That shouldn't have happened to him. That was a really sweet, sweet, sweet kid.
Neighbors said the homeowner often hosted events such as jazz concerts at their home, and Friday's festivities were like any other. Suddenly, gunshots were heard and tragedy struck."When I came outside, I was met by three boys," Earl said."They told us to go in the house, you know, with more gunshots. It got to be crazy. I mean real, real crazy."
Details on what led up to the violence were not immediately available, but neighbors said the fatal victim was trying to stop the shooting. The five other individuals who were hurt included two men and three women.
