San Bernardino, California - Authorities Saturday continued to investigate the circumstances surrounding a fight at an "End of the World" party in San Bernardino that turned deadly.
A statement by the San Bernardino Police Department says as many as 100 people had attended the party at a home on 7th Street on Friday evening.
At some point during the party, a 29-year-old man was stabbed and police were called to the scene to investigate.
Upon arriving on scene, authorities say a shooting occurred nearby.
The shooting victim, identified as 20-year-old Felipe Jason Moreno, suffered fatal injuries. His 22-year-old cousin was also wounded in the shooting, authorities said.
"The reason for the shooting appears to have stemmed from a fight that had occurred at the party location," the statement said.
The man, who was stabbed, is expected to survive.
Anyone with more information about the incident is asked to contact Detective John Munoz at (909) 384-5630 or Sergeant Gary Robertson at (909) 841-5361.

The mayor of Marlboro Township in New Jersey said Friday there would be armed security guards at the district's nine schools starting in January.
"This is not such a major change-- we're not putting in SWAT teams," said Mayor Jon Hornik.
Hornik, who has three school-aged children, told NBC 4 New York he was still shaken from the Newtown shooting, and he "hasn't stopped hugging" his five-year-old.
He statements about safety and protecting children echoed those made by the NRA earlier in the day.

A reporter was killed in eastern India as police fired on a violent rally which called for the arrest of a man accused of molesting a film star. In New Delhi, police used tear gas to disperse thousands of protesters angered over a recent gang-rape.
For a second consecutive day, India was gripped by protests over widespread violence and abuse against women in the country. The rallies continued despite a government-imposed ban on gatherings of five or more people in areas of unrest.
In India's eastern state of Manipur, local reporter Nanao Singh, 26, died at a hospital after sustaining deadly wounds from police gunfire. Security forces fired tear gas and rifles to break up a strike called by a film union, India's NDTV reported. The strikers torched a police car, lit tires on fire, hurled stones at police and obstructed roads in a popular Christmas shopping area.
News of the death sparked further unrest across the state, and more vehicles were set ablaze. Authorities responded by re-imposing a just-lifted curfew.

In the capital New Delhi, thousands gathered for a second day of protest after police arrested six men who brutally beat and gang-raped a 23-year-old student.
Police used tear gas, water cannons and batons to hold back the swelling crowds, which consisted mostly of students and women. Around 35 people were injured in the New Delhi protests on Sunday, including several police officers.

A New Mexico man sues the USDA, saying politics has blocked permits to slaughter horses for food.
Rick de los Santos wants to reopen an animal slaughter business that's been banned in the U.S. for years. Along the way, he's also opened a can of worms.
The Roswell, N.M., meat company owner sued the federal government last week, alleging that officials ignored his application to resume domestic horse slaughter for food because the practice had become an emotional political issue throughout the West.
After waiting a year for permits, De los Santos, 52, says he's using the courts to force the U.S. Department of Agriculture to resume inspections necessary to open what would be the nation's first new horse slaughterhouse since 2007.
"I've submitted all the paperwork and have been told all along 'Oh, it won't be long now,'" said De los Santos, who owns Valley Meat Co. "I followed all their guidelines. I put more than $100,000 in upgrades and additions on my facilities to handle equine slaughter. And then the government comes back and tells me, 'We can't give you the permits. This horse issue has turned into a political game.'
"So what else do you do? I figured it was time to go to court."

The Bureau of Land Management uses a helicopter to herd wild horses in Idaho. The practice has drawn complaints from some animal protection groups, who are now also angered by efforts to open a slaughterhouse in New Mexico to produce horse meat.

Guatemalan natives and visitors take part in a ceremony on December 21, 2012, at the Tikal archaeological site, Peten departament, 560 kms north of Guatemala City.
"Sadly, many tourists climbed Temple II and caused damage," said Osvaldo Gomez, a technical adviser at the site, which is located some 550 kilometers (340 miles) north of Guatemala City.
"We are fine with the celebration, but (the tourists) should be more aware because this is a (UNESCO) World Heritage Site," he told local media.
Gomez did not specify what was done, although he did say it was forbidden to climb the stairs at the site and indicated that the damage was irreparable.
Temple II, which is about 38 meters (125 feet) high and faces the central Tikal plaza, is one of the site's best known structures.

Investigators are still trying to figure out what set off the gunman, identified as 44-year-old Jeffrey Lee Michael of Geeseytown, a tiny village about 70 miles west of Harrisburg, the state capital.
''We're not sure of the motive. We'll be trying to find out by talking to people who knew him, see if he gave any indication,'' Blair County District Attorney Richard Consiglio said of the violence, which began Friday morning in Frankstown Township and spanned five separate crime scenes across a 1.5-mile area.
Authorities said Michael knew his two males victims, who were related to each other, but investigators do not yet know whether he knew the third, a woman who was slain while decorating a church hall for a children's Christmas party.
Michael fired into the Juniata Valley Gospel Church from outside, then entered the church and fired again, killing Kimberly Scott, 58, of Duncansville, State Police Sgt. Gregory Bernard said.
Food banks have sprung up all over the UK to stave off hunger, but for how much longer will Western civilization last?
The number of people who will turn to food banks for sustenance is expected to double this Christmas, as a new report warns that millions more families face a financial "precipice" due to high personal debts, flatlining wages and future interest rate rises.
With three new food banks opening every week in the UK, the charity that oversees Britain's 292 emergency outlets, the Trussell Trust, says it expects to feed 15,000 people over the Christmas fortnight alone, almost double the number last Christmas.
At the same time, a study published by the Resolution Foundation, an independent thinktank, says millions of households with low to middle incomes will be pushed close to the edge if they are unable to reduce their debts, including mortgages, before the cost of borrowing returns to more normal levels.
Since I no longer pay taxes (since I'm unemployed - and no I'm not collecting unemployment), my tax dollars are no longer going to a government intent on killing people who look (or think) a little different than us.
That is the one thing I take comfort in since losing my job of 27 years.
I'm no longer drone bombing wedding parties in Pakistan.
I'm no longer killing the Afghani people.
I quit pointing guns at Iran.
I no longer give out $55 billion in foreign aid which goes to rogue governments who torture, imprison and murder their people.
I no longer sell or give military weapons to foreign nations who in turn suppress their people for U.S. weapons manufacture's financial gain.
I have quit sanctioning Iran and causing untold harm to innocent Iranians who never did a thing to me.
I no longer send Israel 3.2 billion dollars to kill Palestinians.
After nationwide calls to ban assault rifles and high-capacity magazines following the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School, Americans concerned about the government's coming move to restrict the sale, the transfer, the importation and the possession of firearms deemed too dangerous to be in the hands of private citizens are cleaning out gun stores from coast to coast.
While some retailers have made the decision to suspend sales and stop selling certain firearms altogether, others are seeing sales skyrocket to never before seen levels. Parking lots are packed and hopeful shoppers are waiting hours for their chance to get their hands on weapons, parts and magazines that may soon be banned under Federal mandates.
The following photos taken over a three day period at a local gun store give us a glimpse of just how fast gun stores are clearing out their inventory. According to the shop owner who took these pictures, their store was selling upwards of one thousand guns per day.
Here's how the store looked on the Sunday before the frenzy:
