LOS ANGELES -- A gunman who killed a young man and wounded two others outside a downtown Los Angeles nightclub was at large Friday, authorities said.
The shooting occurred at about 1:30 a.m. at the Crash Mansion L.A. Club near West Olympic Boulevard and South Grand Avenue, after a young woman was stabbed on the dance floor, said a sergeant at the Los Angeles Police Department's Central Station.
Joseph Covina, 19, of Downey, died of multiple gunshot wounds, police said.
The stabbed woman was treated at a local hospital and released, said Los Angeles police Lt. Paul Vernon.
The wounded men's injuries were not considered life-threatening, Vernon said.
The gunman escaped.
Most of the patrons were 18 to 20 years old, as the business was operating as an over-18 club, Vernon said.
"We will be looking closely at the business practices here with our vice unit and the city attorney's office," Vernon said this morning. "We've had other disturbances at this same location before it closed down under the name Grand Avenue Club."
Vice detectives may question the Crash Mansion promoter, Vernon said.
"This is one of those roving parties that moves from place to place," Vernon said. "We'll be looking at the location, as well as the promoter aspect, and whether we've had problems with them before."
Anyone with information about the shooting was asked to call homicide detectives at 213-972-1254 or (877) 529-3855. |

...sad...thats why security doing their jobs at clubs is always important so as to try to limit these situations...

| The shooting happened outside in the parking lot, not inside. Even with tight security, there's very little that can be done to control a situation like that on the parking lot. |

I think it was a thursday night since the report said, at large on friday so must have happened friday early morning.
Come to think of it, what other clubs here in LA are lax? |
