Los Angeles police responded to a reported shooting at a home in the 5000 block of Palomar Drive in Tarzana shortly after 11:30 p.m. on Sunday. Officers found a 19‑year‑old male victim with a gunshot wound and transported him to a nearby hospital, where he remains in stable condition.
Details of the incident
According to the Los Angeles Police Department, four people who were present at the residence with the victim attempted to rob him. During the confrontation, shots were fired. The assailants fled the scene before officers arrived.
Investigators later identified two of the suspects and placed them under arrest. Police have not released the names of the arrested individuals pending further processing.
Unclear motives
Authorities have not yet determined why the victim and the four other individuals were at the Tarzana home at the time of the robbery attempt. The LAPD is continuing its investigation and is asking anyone with additional information to contact the department.
Community response
Neighbors expressed concern over the violent incident occurring in a typically quiet residential area. “We don’t expect this kind of crime in our neighborhood,” said one resident who asked to remain anonymous. Local community groups are urging residents to stay vigilant and report suspicious activity to law enforcement.
