The shooting occurred at a home in the 4000 block of West Clark Avenue, Burbank Police Sgt. Derek Green said.

"We believe the victim was attending a party at the residence. At some point, there was some type of commotion or altercation outside of the home, which is when we believe the shooting occurred," Green said.
