An Oakland woman has been identified as the victim killed in a triple shooting Sunday morning outside a party at a skating rink on the Contra Costa County Fairgrounds, a sheriff's spokesman said Tuesday.
Amber Abangan, 31, was found shot along with two men outside the Paradise Skate Roller Rink at 1201 W. 10th St. in Antioch shortly after 1:36 a.m., sheriff's spokesman Jimmy Lee said.
A fight had broken out outside an "Adult Late Night Skate Jam" and later a suspect with a gun was spotted there before the shooting.
Abangan was rushed to Sutter Delta Medical Center in Antioch but died from a gunshot wound to her torso, Lee said.
The two men were taken to John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek and are expected to survive.
Detectives are trying to determine the motive in the homicide and have not released any suspect information.
Anyone with information about the shooting has been asked to call the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Investigation Division at (925) 313-2600.
