Africa Johnson, 52, a Black woman from Los Angeles, was killed by gunfire on August 4, 2025, outside a late-night warehouse gathering near East 14th Place and Paloma Street. The shooting began shortly after 1 a.m. following an earlier unlawful party at the same location; she was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead. A 29-year-old man, Gregory DeRisso, died at the scene and at least six others were wounded, two initially reported in critical condition.

Witnesses described a chaotic scene as an after-party followed a shutdown earlier that night. Investigators recovered multiple shell casings and said the episode may be gang-related, but no motive or named assailant has been confirmed. Police had detained one person for firearm possession during the earlier dispersal, but no arrests have been announced in connection with the later shooting that killed Africa Johnson.

Did anyone who attended the warehouse gatherings or lives nearby see what happened that night or has footage that could help investigators?
