VANCOUVER, Wash. — The Vancouver Police Department released new details Tuesday on a shooting at a house party over the weekend that left two teenagers dead and two others seriously injured, and the Clark County Medical Examiner's Office released the identities of the deceased victims Wednesday.
Alexander Castagnoli, 19 — originally identified as Alexander Castagnola — and Amadou Keita, 18, were both confirmed to have died from gunshot wounds, and their deaths were ruled homicides. Both victims lived in Portland.
Police said the party started at a home on the 3600 block of East 11th Avenue around 10 p.m. Saturday, initially involving about 15-20 guests. By midnight, it had grown to more than 70 people.
There was an argument between guests around 1:20 a.m. Sunday, which escalated to shots being fired. Police said all four victims sustained multiple gunshot wounds.
The two surviving victims, a 17-year-old and 19-year-old male, were seriously injured. They remain hospitalized in "stable condition" as of Tuesday afternoon, police said in a news release. Their identities have not been released, but police said they were also both from Portland.
Police are still working to identify suspects, and they have not released any suspect information at this time.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call Corporal Neil Martin at 360-487-7432 or the Vancouver Police Department tip line, 360-487-7399.
