Man found fatally shot in front of home in North Hollywood neighborhood

NORTH HOLLYWOOD, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A man was fatally shot in front of his home in a residential neighborhood of North Hollywood Friday afternoon, according to police.

Los Angeles police say the shooting happened around 3:24 p.m. in the 6100 block of Carpenter Avenue, near the NoHo West shopping complex and Laurel Hall School and preschool.

Police say the man was killed in an apparent drive-by shooting and that surveillance video leads them to believe he was targeted.

The victim was only identified as a Hispanic man in his 50s. He was found with a gunshot wound to his torso.

A tent was set up in front of the home, and the street was cordoned off amid the investigation.

Neighbors say they heard a loud noise before police arrived. One neighbor said their doorbell camera recorded the sound of gunshots.

Police continue to review surveillance video and ask for witnesses to come forward.

No suspect description has been released.
