2 killed, 1 injured in party shooting in Moreno Valley, authorities say

MORENO VALLEY, Calif. (KABC) -- Two people were killed and another was injured in a shooting at a party in Moreno Valley, authorities said Monday.

Deputies responded to reports of a shooting during a large party at a home in the 26000 block of Coronada Drive shortly before 1 a.m., according to the Riverside County Sheriff's Department.

They found three people suffering from gunshot wounds. One victim died at the scene and another succumbed to their injuries at the hospital. The third victim remains in critical condition.

None of them have been identified.

"We do not know if it happened with partygoers or if somebody showed up or none of that," said Riverside County Sheriff's Department Public Information Officer Wenndy Brito-Gonzalez. "They actually haven't released suspect information at the moment."

Chris Ramirez lives in the neighborhood and said his mother was the one who alerted him.

"I heard there was a party and then I woke up around 12 to gunshots and my mom told me that there's someone shooting," he said. "It is concerning that it was right across the street but no, this was just a one-and-done thing. It never happens here."

A woman who didn't want to be identified told Eyewitness News her parents have lived in the area for a long time and is worried for their safety.

"They live in a cul-de-sac and they're all original owners, except, I think one, so I'm considering they're pretty safe up there," she said.

Additional details about what led up to the shooting were not available. The investigation is ongoing.
