A fired bullet went completely through a Valley Village apartment wall, fatally striking a neighbor, according to a police report.
On Monday around 9:30 p.m., patrol officers in the North Hollywood area responded to a radio call about “shots fired” in the 5600 block of Laurel Canyon Boulevard, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. When they arrived, they found a person in an apartment suffering from a gunshot wound.
Paramedics later pronounced the person dead at the scene.
LAPD homicide detectives were called in and discovered that a bullet fired from the apartment next door had pierced the wall and hit the victim.
No further information about the shooting has been released and authorities are withholding the victim’s identity until their next of kin have been notified.
