New video emerges of a brawl that authorities believe led to a deadly shooting at a bowling alley in Torrance, and families of the victims identify the three people killed. Jane Yamamoto and Chrsitine Kim report for NBC4 News at 6 p.m. on Jan. 5, 2019.
Three men died and four were injured after a brawl turned into a shooting at a bowling alley in Torrance, California late Friday night.
Police responded to calls of shots fired at Gable House Bowl on Hawthorne Boulevard early Saturday morning and found multiple people injured with gunshot wounds.
Police say they have not yet identified the suspect or suspects and are reviewing surveillance footage. No arrests or suspect information was immediately available.
The three people killed in the shooting were identified by their families on Saturday.
One of the dead men was identified as 28-year-old Astin Edwards, who was at the bowling alley with his cousin and some friends when the brawl escalated.
"He was trying to break up the fight. Girls and this guy came out of nowhere and started shooting," his father, Dwayne Edwards said.
Another victim was identified as 28-year-old Robert Meekins, who leaves behind a 5-year-old son.

"When I go home and tell him that his daddy's not coming back, it's going to break his heart because he's a daddy's boy, always has been," Meekins' mother Anglean Hubbard said. "And I wonder the person that sat up here and took all of these people's lives, how is he sleeping? How is he dealing with that? He done took somebody's father, somebody's son. I just want justice for my son and all the people that was in there."
The third victim, 20-year-old Michael Radford, was also a father. He leaves behind an 8-month-old daughter, according to his sister.
Wes Hamad, a 29-year-old Torrance resident, said he was at the bowling alley with his 13-year-old niece and cousin when he saw a huge fight break out. Hamad said the brawl, which lasted about five minutes, blocked the entrance of Gable House Bowl and devolved into "complete chaos."
"I grabbed my niece and started running towards the far end of the bowling alley," he said. "As we were running, we heard 15 shots."
As he was leaving, Hamad said, he saw a woman weeping over a man who was riddled with multiple gunshot wounds in his head and neck.
