One of the victims, 19-year-old Esteban Bueno, was pronounced dead at the scene, Manumaleuna said.
Another, 20-year-old Laro de la Rosa, died just before noon Sunday at a nearby hospital, according to sheriff’s and coroner’s reports.
A 19-year-old man was hospitalized for treatment of his wounds.
The gunman was not arrested, and investigators do not know his identity, Manumaleuna said.
