Woman Killed in Shooting Outside Hawthorne Sports Bar
A woman was shot to death outside a sports bar in Hawthorne, California, according to officials. The incident occurred on Friday, July 18, 2025 at around 1:50am, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. The shooting happened on the 11000 block of South Inglewood Avenue.
Both deputies and Hawthorne police responded to the reports of a shooting death outside the sports bar and found a woman dead at the scene. Officials were only able to identify the victim as an adult female.
According to unconfirmed witness reports, two female suspects got into an argument at the bar, resulting in one woman being dragged from a vehicle and shot at least three times in the abdomen.
LASD did not share whether any arrests were made or give any suspect descriptions; however, the authorities did encourage anyone with information to contact them as soon as possible.

Based on the details surrounding the specific incident, property owners could be liable for incidents that occur on their premises. In the incident mentioned above, it appears that a fight started inside the bar; therefore, the bar owner could potentially be liable for any harm that occurred as a result of that initial fight. This is because property owners have a duty to keep their premises safe. When a fight breaks out, they must take necessary steps to ensure that the situation does not escalate. Sports bars, specifically, must have adequate surveillance and security. When a fight starts inside the bar, patrons should be separated and removed from the premises. The authorities should also be called.
If the investigation determines that the property owner (or the management acting on behalf of the property owner) failed to act accordingly, then the property owner could potentially be sued for all resulting harm.
