Woman shot to death in Carson as fight at party leads to gunfire

A woman was killed and a man suffered minor injuries after they were hit by gunfire during a party in Carson, authorities said Sunday.

A fight broke out between several partygoers shortly before 10:35 p.m. Saturday at a home in the 19700 block of South Enslow Drive, said Deputy Tony Moore of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. The altercation moved out into the street, where a man took out a handgun and fired several rounds toward the crowd, Moore said.

A woman on the scene was taken to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead. A male victim was treated for injuries that were not life threatening, the deputy said.

Investigators asked for anyone with information about the incident to contact the department’s Homicide Bureau at (323) 890-5500 or to call an anonymous tip line at (800) 222-8477.

In the past year, seven other people have been killed in Carson, according to The Times’ Homicide Report, which tracks killings in Los Angeles County. All were shot to death.
