A vigil turned violent in Lakewood Thursday after two people were shot near the same Pizza shop where a teen was fatally shot Wednesday night. 

A man and woman were shot at the memorial event for Jesus Acosta near Pioneer and Del Amo Boulevards.

The injuries to the two victims were not life-threatening, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

Acosta, 17, was found Wednesday evening when officers responded to a call about a gunshot victim. 

The investigations for both shootings were ongoing.
