Deadly Hotel Shooting

Early Sunday morning, the modernist 12-story hotel at Flower and 6th streets had become the scene of a fatal shooting and perhaps the latest case in a crime uptick that is sweeping through downtown.
Shortly before 2:30 a.m., gunfire erupted by the hotel entrance and struck four people, according to Officer Rosario Herrera of the Los Angeles Police Department. All four were taken to the hospital, where one person was pronounced dead. As of Sunday night, the Los Angeles County coroner’s office had not yet identified the person who was killed.
No arrests have been made, and no suspects were publicly identified by police. Although authorities did not comment publicly on a motive, witnesses said things got out of hand after an apparent argument about some people being kept out of a party.
