Homicide detectives investigating after man shot to death at Monrovia house party

Homicide detectives are investigating after a man was fatally shot in the neck during a party at his home in Monrovia, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said Monday.

Police responded to the 700 block of West Duarte Road at about 9:23 p.m. after receiving a call about a man found shot to death, according to the LA County Sheriff's Department. The victim was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead. 

Two people described by sheriff's officials as transients got into an argument with the victim at the victim's home, according to LASD. One of the individuals is being detained as a person of interest while the other person suffered a gunshot wound to the leg and was taken to a hospital for treatment, sheriff's officials said. 

Video shot soon after officers arrived shows first responders taking a wounded man on a stretcher into an ambulance. It's not clear what his injuries were or what his involvement, if any, may have been.

Sheriff's officials did not give a possible cause of death, information about a potential suspect or any other details. 

"This investigation is ongoing, and there is no additional information available at this time," the news release states.
