The shooting occurred on Halloween night, when Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station deputies responded to the 25000 block of De Wolfe Road in Newhall regarding reports of an assault with a deadly weapon and a gunshot victim.

One victim, later identified as Harts, was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the County of Los Angeles Medical Examiner.
The second victim, a 27-year-old Hispanic man, was transported to a local hospital, where he remains in critical condition as of Saturday evening.
