Deputies in San Bernardino County are investigating a house party shooting that killed two people in Adelanto.
According to the SB County Sheriff's Department, the shooting wounded five more people, including a 14-year-old boy. The department did not release the names of the other people wounded but did identify their ages and genders:
- 19-year old male
- 18-year-old female
- 23-year-old male
- 40-year-old male
The police identified the two people killed as 20-year-old Maqwan Allen from Rancho Cucamonga and Derrick Irutingabo, a 20-year-old man from Arizona. Irutingabo died at the home while Allen died at the hospital.
The shooting happened on Sunday evening in the 10900 block of Barlett Avenue. Detectives said the suspects have not been identified yet.
Some neighbors said that there have been problems such as fights and even another shooting at the home before. One neighbor, who wished to stay anonymous, said she's scared for her family's safety.
"As soon as I heard it, I got out of the car and came running for my baby and took her to the back wall," said the woman. "The first thing that popped into my head, it wasn't even me it was my child."
The woman said she was also at the party for about an hour and nothing seemed off to her.
"I just heard everybody running and screaming," said the neighbor. "I heard one saying 'I'm dying' — the one that died by the van — which was so sad."
The sheriff's department is still investigating the incident and anyone with information is asked to call Detective Nicholas Paslak at (909) 890-4904. Those wishing to stay anonymous can contact We-Tip at 800-78CRIME or visit their website here.
