A woman was pronounced dead at the location, while three men and a critically injured woman were rushed to a medical center, police said. Two of the men's injuries were not life-threatening and relatives said the third man who was wounded in the face was in intensive care. The woman survivor was listed in stable condition.
A third woman transported herself to a hospital with a gunshot wound to her lower torso. She is expected to survive.
The Los Angeles County coroner's office later identified the deceased victim as Jacqueline Glasby, a grandmother and an Ontario resident.
Relatives say the gunfire erupted after Glasby and several of her cousins had gathered in a parking lot for a vigil in memory of someone who recently died.
An unknown number of suspects were involved in the shooting, investigators said. No one was in custody, nor was any description available.
