Police say the man's body was found just after 7:30 a.m. Monday face down on the ground at the Montecito apartments on Variel Avenue.
It apparently happened inside the garage. Crime scene tape was surrounding a black vehicle.
The garage gate was also damaged.
Investigators have not released much information, other that this is not gang-related.
On Monday afternoon, LAPD detectives said it believed the homicide in Woodland Hills was connected to another tragedy involving two children on the 405 Freeway.
Detectives are also investigating whether the incidents were also related to a deadly crash in Redondo Beach.
