*The nationwide upsurge in murders continues. The latest example happened early Sunday morning in the Southern California city of Inglewood where four people – age 25 and under – were killed. Another victim is in critical condition after a group of men walked into a birthday party near SoFi Stadium and opened fire, police said. The gunmen, unfortunately, remain at large.

The medical examiner’s office identified the victims as:

Marneysa Hamilton, 25.
Breahna Stines, 20.
Teron Whittiker, Jr., 21.
Jayden Griffin, 21.

Hamilton and Stines were sisters and officials say Stines was shot to death at her own birthday party. Authorities also noted the gathering was held at an Airbnb.

Investigators believe the fifth victim who survived may have been the intended target and was a known gang member. The suspects are also believed to be affiliated with a gang.

“Can you imagine losing two kids at one time?” said an unidentified friend of Tiffney Stines, the girls’ mother, said. “Come on now, this is what she’s here for. I’m gonna make sure her story gets heard.”
