Authorities are searching for a gunman who fatally shot a man outside a home in the Hollywood Hills early Wednesday.
Police responded to the 7800 block of Fareholm Drive around 2 a.m. and found a man who was shot, Los Angeles Police Officer Jader Chaves said.
The victim was standing outside the residence talking to another man, who pulled out a handgun and shot at the victim multiple times, according to police. The suspect drove away in a vehicle heading east, but there was no description of the vehicle or the suspect, Chaves said.
LAPD officers performed CPR on the victim until Los Angeles Fire Department personnel arrived, but the 39-year-old man died at the scene, LAFD spokesperson Nicholas Prange said. The victim’s identity was not immediately available.
Police said the shooting is not believed to be gang-related.
