TARZANA, CA – A 16-year-old Northern California teenager was killed, and six others were injured in a shooting at a mansion party in Tarzana early Sunday morning, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
Officers responded around 1:30 a.m. to a residence on Winnetka Avenue, where they found the victim, identified as Sah’Dell Roberts, lying in the driveway with a gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Roberts was a student at Highland High School in Sacramento County’s Twin Rivers Unified School District. The district issued a statement expressing condolences to his family.

The mansion, known for frequent large gatherings, reportedly hosted 200 to 300 attendees that night. The party was organized by Rage Parties, which later issued a statement expressing devastation over the incident.
