16-year-old killed, five wounded in Victorville party shooting

A shooting at a birthday party in Victorville on Sunday left a 16-year-old girl dead and five other guests wounded.

LeShay Walker, 16, was hit by gunfire that rang out about 2:30 a.m. at a party at the 15000 block of Kitfox Lane in the High Desert city, San Bernardino County sheriff's officials said. She was pronounced dead about an hour later at a hospital.

The shots struck three other Victorville teenagers -- males ages 17 and 18 and a female, 19 -- plus San Bernardino men ages 20 and 30.

They were taken by friends and family to area hospitals with gunshot wounds to their lower bodies, but their injuries were not life-threatening, said Jodi Miller, a Sheriff's Department spokeswoman.

Homicide investigators have been interviewing witnesses, including some of the 75 to 80 people gathered outside the home after the shooting.

No suspects have been named. Investigators are trying determine if more than one person fired shots.
