Three men have been arrested in connection with a deadly shooting in North Hollywood, police announced Friday morning.
The Los Angeles Police Department said officers responded around 12:30 p.m. Thursday to reports of a shooting in the 7300 block of Lankershim Boulevard.
When officers arrived, they found a man suffering from a gunshot wound lying on the ground. Paramedics with the Los Angeles Fire Department tried to save him, but he was ultimately pronounced dead at the scene. Details surrounding what led up to the shooting remain limited as detectives continue their investigation.
The victim was later identified by officials as 26-year-old Delfino Moor. His cause of death was listed as a gunshot wound to his chest, and he died in a rear parking lot.
Detectives with LAPD’s Robbery-Homicide Division Valley Bureau took over the case and identified three suspects, who were later taken into custody.
The suspects were identified as 31-year-old Angel Banuelos, 21-year-old Joshua Provencio and 24-year-old Jonathan Cuellar. Each was booked on suspicion of murder, with bail set at $2 million, police said.
The case will be presented to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office for filing consideration. Detectives are continuing to canvass the area for surveillance footage and witnesses.
