Investigators were still searching Sunday morning for the suspected shooter. No arrests had been announced.

Just a few blocks away, a separate 4th of July holiday celebration was interrupted by gunfire in another part of Compton.

Sheriff's deputies responded to a homicide investigation near Grandee Avenue and 132nd Street around 12:10 a.m. Sunday. One victim was pronounced dead at the scene.

Video from the scene showed paramedics rushing one person into an ambulance while another person remained on the pavement.

Authorities had not announced any arrests in the second shooting.
