The victim, whose identity wasn't released, was taken to UCI Medical Center in Orange with non-life-threatening injuries, Bastreri said.

Crostwaite was booked on suspicion of attempted homicide, Bastreri said.

"He was arrested leaving the scene, but we can't elaborate on where he was arrested because of the ongoing investigation," Bastreri said.

Two other male party guests involved in the fight were taken to hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries, Bastreri said. Neither was shot, but how they were injured wasn't immediately clear, Bastreri said.

One was taken to UCI Medical Center, the other to St. Jude Medical Center in Fullerton.

Fullerton police were investigating the shooting as possibly gang-related, Bastreri said.

The relationship between the three victims and Crostwaite wasn't immediately clear. It also wasn't immediately clear who injured the two victims who weren't shot, Bastreri said.

The investigation was ongoing and police were continuing to interview witnesses, Bastreri said.
