Update, 2/14: According to Altadena Patch columnist Greg Middleton, the victim was part of the MPYD youth mentor program (Middleton wrote about them ).  Mentors for that program are planning to help counsel students at John Muir today, Middleton says.

Updated: Muir head coach football Ken Howard confirmed Sunday afternoon that the victim was a member of his football team.  He said he did not want to discuss any further details until he had contacted all the members of his team.

A man was fatally shot in the 300 block of  West Palm Street on Saturday night, according to Sheriff's Department officials.

The shooting occurred at 10:40 p.m., according to Sgt. Michael Thomas of the Sheriff's Headquarter's Bureau.

The victim was transported to the hospital and later pronounced dead on the scene.

Thomas said detectives have not yet determined whether the shooting was gang related.

Anyone with information on the crime should call (323) 890-5500, or leave a tip at the website www.lacrimestoppers.org.

Update: Several neighbors in the area said that there was a house party in the area Saturday night, and that the shooting may have happened at or outside the party.

Robert Hilton, who has lived in the area for 35 years, said he heard two shots a little after the party was winding down.

He said that he didn't hear a lot of panic or commotion afterwards, and didn't think anybody had been hit.

Another neighbor, who didn't want to be identified, said people were yelling and running around.  He said he heard three shots and heard somebody yelling that a family member of theirs had been shot.  He said police put up barriers and locked down the block shortly after.

Both described the block as being usually very quiet and calm.

Update: Officials from the county coroner's office anticipate they will be unable to release the identity of the victim before Monday because they are still notifying next of kin.
