VINCENT - Deputies are investigating what led to a stabbing and shooting at a home near Azusa Sunday night.

Two people were wounded by gunfire, one person was stabbed, and another person received minor injuries. The patients were taken to two different hospitals for treatment, according to Yvette Llacuna, dispatch supervisor with the Los Angeles County Fire Department.

The shooting took place on Banewell Avenue north of East Renwick Road just before 10 pm.f

The motive for the shooting was not publicly known. In a 12:30 a.m. interview with Sgt. Nafissi of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s San Dimas Station, deputies were still trying to figure out what led to the shooting, but witnesses were not willing to talk.

A CityWatch reader reported that a Halloween party may have been taking place at the home when the attacks occurred. People appeared to be wearing costumes as they exited the home.

The suspect description initially given to responding deputies was a Latino man in a ski mask. He wore a black shirt over black shorts.
