Eleven people were killed in a shooting at the Star Ballroom Dance Studio in Monterey Park, California, on Saturday night. On Wednesday, Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said in a news conference that investigators have been unable to establish a connection between the suspect, 72-year-old Huu Can Tran, and any of the victims.
Hundreds of mourners gathered Wednesday night for a vigil outside the Star Ballroom Dance Studio, where they brought flowers, incense and candles to honor the 11 victims. Luna said that detectives do not believe that Tran had been to the dance studio in the last five years.
Luna also said that investigators have been unable to tie Tran romantically to any of the victims. Twenty people were shot during the Lunar New Year celebration, just an hour or so after tens of thousands of people had gathered in the area to celebrate the holiday.
The tragedy has left the usually quiet Los Angeles suburb reeling. Community members are struggling to come to terms with the loss of the 11 people who were killed in the massacre. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are still searching for a possible link between Tran and the victims.
