A man was wounded after an argument outside a Tarzana house party on Friday night, and police say the search is on for the gunman. So far, investigators have released only limited information about what led up to the shooting.
Police Searching for Gunman
According to CBS Los Angeles, the gunfire broke out following a dispute outside the gathering. Officers responded to the scene Friday night, and detectives are now working to piece together what happened and who pulled the trigger.
Investigators have not publicly released a detailed description of the suspect or any motive, and they are asking anyone who saw or recorded anything in the area to come forward.
Tarzana Parties Draw Police Attention
The shooting lands in the middle of growing scrutiny over big private parties in the neighborhood. A recent blowout, a Tarzana house party that drew rappers DDG and Blueface and roughly 200 people, was shut down by LAPD. That report noted city rules that require permits for certain special events and highlighted the potential for municipal fines when gatherings spill into the street and turn into public-safety hazards.
Residents and city officials have been increasingly wrestling with how to handle large, high-profile house parties on otherwise quiet residential blocks, and the latest shooting is likely to keep the debate alive.
How to Report Tips
Anyone with information about the Tarzana shooting is urged to contact the Los Angeles Police Department or submit an anonymous tip to LA Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. Tips can also be sent through the department's anonymous web-tips portal for Valley detectives.
