WINNETKA, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Los Angeles police believe a jealous boyfriend shot dead his ex-girlfriend and a man she was with at an apartment building in Winnetka.

Investigators are asking for the public's help to track down 24-year-old Brian Anthony Gonzales, also known as "Brian Hammond."

He is described as an African-American male, approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighing around 160 pounds.

Patrol officers received a call around 4:20 p.m. on Sunday about an assault with a deadly weapon in the 7600 block of Oso Avenue in the Winnetka area.

When officers arrived, they found a 22-year-old woman and a 24-year-old man unresponsive on the third floor of the apartment building, suffering from gunshot wounds.

Both victims were pronounced dead at the scene.
