The Glendale Police Dept. Homicide detectives are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying the suspect responsible for the shooting death of a 28-year-old Glendale
resident on Aug. 5.

At 9:20 p.m. neighbors called GPD stating they heard several shots fired in the 1200 block of Boynton Street in Glendale.

“Two men were visiting a [residence] in the area,” said Sgt. Dan Suttles, GPD spokesman. He said the two men left the residence and were walking a dog on their way to their car.

“They were walking northbound when someone approached them from behind and started shooting,” Suttles said.

The 28-year-old victim was struck by gunfire and fell to the ground. GPD responded and rendered first aid; however, the victim succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced deceased at the scene, according to GPD.

A witness described the suspect as a male white in his 50s, about 5’10” tall, unshaven with a medium build, wearing dark clothing and prescription glasses.

The name of the victim will not be released at this time.

Anyone with information that can assist with the investigation is encouraged to contact the Glendale Police Dept. at (818) 548-4911. Those who wish to remain anonymous can call the LA Regional Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-TIPS (800-222- 8477), or by using a smartphone download the “P3 MOBILE APP,” or go directly to www.lacrimestoppers.org.
