Three people died at the scene, and 12 others were transported to local hospitals. Of the injured, police said one man remains hospitalized in extremely critical condition. Paul Elen, 64, who was visiting his brother in the neighborhood, said he “heard about 15, 20 shots.”

“First it was two shots,” he said. “He’s well-respected in our community, our Jamaican circles.”

The man said he often comes and gets food at the house — plates he described as “next to home-cooked meals that we’re used to back home.”

“Real authentic Jamaican food,” he said. There were at least 50 people inside the restaurant in the 2900 block of Rimpau Boulevard at the time of the incident, Sgt. Frank Preciado tells The Los Angeles Times (http://lat.ms/2diVuqZ ) that the restaurant was “a bloody scene with shell casings everywhere.”

The Times described the restaurant as a popular Jamaican eatery in a converted house that features a DJ on Friday night.
