1 Dead, 8 Wounded in Shooting at 'Juvenile Party'

One person was killed and eight others were wounded in a volley of gunfire early Saturday morning in South Los Angeles, police said.

Devon Hakilmy, 19, was killed at what police called a "juvenile party" on 47th Street near Broadway, about a half mile southeast of the L.A. Memorial Coliseum. The coroner said Hakilmy was a Los Angeles resident, but would not say if he lived in that neighborhood.

Los Angeles police officers were in the area of the party, in the 200 block of West 47th Street, and heard gunfire just after midnight. They rushed to the party and found what a desk officer at the Newton Station described as a "hot scene."

Lt. Wayne Lightfoot later said police found the dying man and seven other gunshot victims, who were taken to hospitals.

Police and firefighters set up a command post at Broadway and 47th Street, and sealed off the area to search for the gunman or gunmen. What touched off the bloodshed was not immediately known.

Hospital conditions on the other victims were unavailable.
