Deputies said they saw about 100 people leaving the house.

"We heard people running and pow, pow, pow," said Ebony Smith, a neighbor. "It was multiple shots."

Smith and her 3-year-old daughter took cover after hearing the gunshots outside their home Friday evening.

"It was all really scary," said Smith. "We were on the ground when we heard the gunshots. It scared my baby more than anything. She’s just a toddler."

Suspect information has not been released. 

Anyone with information is urged to contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Homicide Bureau at (323) 890-5500, or contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS to remain anonymous.
