Written by A man was fatally shot in the parking lot near Universal Studios on Sunday morning, according to Los Angeles police. Officers said that the shooting happened at around 11:20 a.m. near the Universal/Studio City Park & Ride parking lot in the 10800 block of Ventura Boulevard. By the time they arrived at the scene, the suspect had already fled the area. Arriving first responders found the victim, only described as a man in his 40s, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
He was pronounced dead at the scene by Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics, police said. LAPD detectives say that the man was homeless and living at an encampment in the area. LAPD detectives did not provide information on the suspect or motive in the incident as their preliminary investigation got underway. They are unsure if the suspect is also homeless. “Detectives from Robbery Homicide Division Valley Bureau Section are actively canvassing the neighborhood for surveillance video and witnesses,” a news release from LAPD officers said on Monday.
A Metro spokesperson shared a statement with CBS LA upon request, stating that the shooting was not related to their services and that it only happened in the surrounding area.
