A mass shooting in downtown music festival, the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter.
A “large party” in the 1100 block of 14th Place was first shut down around 11 p.m. on Sunday after officers saw a person possibly armed with a gun go inside the venue. The person was arrested at the scene, according to the LAPD.
At around 1 a.m. on Monday, officers were dispatched back to the area following reports of gunfire. The officers found eight people were shot upon their arrival. One man was declared dead at the scene and seven others were taken to the hospital. One woman later died from her injuries while at the hospital.

The LAPD couldn’t confirm that the party was related to the Hard Summer music festival, though the Los Angeles Times reported that a social media post promoting the event referred to the celebration as an after party for the festival.
Hard Summer is a house and techno music festival that took place on Saturday and Sunday at Hollywood Park, which is next to SoFi Stadium. The 2025 event’s lineup included musical acts Busta Rhymes, Dom Dolla, Barry Can’t Swim, Feid, Four Tet, Kaytranada, Ladies of Leisure, Linska, Marlon Hoffstadt, Riordan, Trace, Alex Chapman + Zoe Gitter, Athen, BB Shaine, Dara Genesis, Floating Points Live and more. The two day festival included performances that took place across seven stages.
In addition to the music sets, the event hosted several pre-parties and after parties that were promoted on the website. The music festival hosted four official after parties on Sunday, which all began at 10 p.m. local time.
This is a developing story.
