Active Homicide Investigation

Burbank, CA (January 26, 2021) - An investigation is underway following an early morning shooting that has left one person dead.

On January 26, 2021, at about 1:45 a.m., Burbank Police received multiple calls from people reporting a disturbance in an apartment in the 200 block of West Tujunga Avenue. At least one caller reported hearing what they believed to be gunfire.

The first police officers to arrive on-scene encountered an adult female who was distraught. She led officers to an upstairs apartment, where they found an adult man suffering from at least one gunshot wound. Paramedics responded, but the man was pronounced deceased at the scene.

The identity of the deceased is not being released at this time pending identification by the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office, and notification to a next of kin.

Burbank Police Detectives are currently on-scene. Investigators are looking for a motive and trying to determine what circumstances led up to the shooting, including the possibility of a home invasion-type robbery.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact the Burbank Police Department Investigations Division, at (818) 238-3210.
