A man was found dead with an apparent gunshot wound Saturday morning in Palmdale, hours after gunfire erupted at a nearby party.
The victim was identified as Oliver Adams, 22, Los Angeles County sheriff's officials said. Adams was last seen running away when someone fired shots at about 12:30 a.m. on Saturday.
A woman completely unrelated to the party or the shooting walked out into her back yard at about 10 a.m. and discovered the body. Her home was at the intersection of Hillcrest Drive and Avenue S-4 (map), about a block away from where the party was held.
A motive for the shooting wasn't immediately known. Sheriff's detectives were investigating the slaying.
