Authorities later said two of the victims had died while five others were being treated for various injuries.
Firearms were located at the scene, the LAPD Media Relations Division said, adding that it was unknown "how many suspects were involved or if this is a gang-related incident."
The LAPD has asked for further victims and those with information on the shooting to contact the South Bureau Homicide Division.
