The LAPD stated that no arrests have been made in connection with the shooting, and no suspects have been publicly identified at this time.

A spokesperson for the LAPD told the Daily Caller that investigators are continuing to gather evidence and interview witnesses.

The department has not yet determined whether the shooting was targeted or random.

In its response to the Daily Caller, LAPD noted there were “no more recent developments or anything known about the shooter,” and the investigation remains ongoing.

The location of the incident, a commercial building in the downtown area, has not been officially identified by authorities, though media reports indicate it was being used for an afterparty event with dozens of attendees.

Law enforcement officials are asking anyone with information related to the shooting to contact the LAPD’s Central Bureau Homicide unit.
