A New Year’s Eve party at an underground warehouse on 2350 Porter Street in downtown Los Angeles ended in deadly gunfire shortly after midnight on January 1, 2024. LAPD officers arriving at 12:53 a.m. found multiple people fleeing and several victims on the street; 24-year-old Devin Whitaker of Los Angeles and 26-year-old Miah Banks of Azusa were pronounced dead at the scene. The Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner ruled Whitaker’s death a homicide due to multiple gunshot wounds.

Eight other attendees were wounded and taken to hospitals with injuries of varying severity. Police say a dispute at the party escalated and led to the shooting, but the nature of that dispute and identities of those involved have not been released. No arrests have been announced; investigators are asking anyone with information to come forward.

If anyone was at the warehouse that night or has footage or tips that might help, please share what is known with investigators.
