An attempted robbery resulted in a shooting in Hollywood Hills early Friday morning. LAPD reported five people were shot, including two of the suspects.
Fox11 reported one of the victims is a business executive and another the CEO of a fashion company. According to TMZ, the CEO is head of Fashion Nova, Richard Saghian. The website reported Saghian was not injured.
The executive, Saghian, and the executive's security guard arrived at Saghian's Hollywood Hills home in his Rolls Royce when the attempted robbery took place. Fox11 reported the three attempted burglars arrived in an Audi and had been following the other three for some time in an attempt to target the fashion CEO.
TMZ reported, "It's unclear if [the burglars] were aware Saghian was traveling in the vehicle, or if they only followed it because of the Rolls' value."
Following reports of the shooting at a home in Hollywood Hills, the LAPD searched a car at Doheny Drive and Santa Monica Boulevard.
CBS LA reported the car was a dark-colored Audi sedan that was seen leaving the area of the shooting.
One of the suspects found in the car died at the scene. The second suspect was taken to a hospital. He was handcuffed to a stretcher as the emergency responders loaded him into an ambulance, according to CBS. The third suspect was taken into custody.
City News Service reported that the attempted robbery took place around 2:05 am at 1474 Blue Jay Way when shots were fired.
When the attempted burglars opened fire, the security guard returned fire and was critically wounded. The suspects drove off after the shooting and were later found by the LAPD.
The Twitter account Downtown LA Scanner tweeted that multiple calls were made about the early morning shooting. There are reports that an off-duty officer was one of the victims.
LAPD has not confirmed the identity of the shooting victims or suspects.
LAPD is investigating.
