Gunman didn't know Monterey Park dance hall victims, sheriff confirms

Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said investigators are still trying to determine a motive for the massacre.

Some reports had said Tran frequented the dance hall and fancied himself as an instructor, but Luna said he hadn't been there in at least five years and did not appear to target the victims specifically. Tran's motive continues to elude detectives days after the tragedy as they searched piles of items and paperwork seized from Tran's home and a van he used to flee, the sheriff said.About 20 minutes after the carnage in Monterey Park, Tran entered another dance hall about 3.5 miles away in Alhambra, where an employee confronted and disarmed him during a brief struggle. Tran later shot himself in the van where his body was found Sunday morning.

The shooting at 10:22 pm on Saturday occurred just an hour or so after tens of thousands of people attended Lunar New Year festivities in the city. Vice President Kamala Harris visited the memorial on Wednesday, adding her own bouquet, before heading to a senior centre to talk to relatives of the victims. She paused in front of each of the large, rose-framed placards that contained photos or names of the victims at the memorial.
