The LAPD went on a citywide tactical alert after the shooting. The entire park was being treated as a crime scene and was closed for the investigation.
"Multiple guns were discovered at the location and recovered by police as evidence,'' police said in a statement late Monday morning. "There is no further description on the firearms as the investigation is still active. There are no suspects in custody and no suspect information.''
Witnesses said the dispute began near a baseball field in the park. A softball game was underway and a car show had drawn crowds, but it was not immediately clear if either event was connected to the shooting. As many as 500 people were believed to be at the park at the time.
Anyone with information on the shooting was asked to call LAPD's South Bureau Homicide Division at 323-786-5113; 877-LAPD-247; or Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS. Tipsters may also use the website www.lacrimestoppers.org.
