Vahe Soghoyan (2008-09-27)

Vahe Soghayan, a 37-year-old white man, was shot to death in the 7200 block of Bellaire Avenue, an industrial area of North Hollywood, about 6:15 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 27.

When officers from the Los Angeles Police Department arrived at the scene, they discovered evidence of a shootout and learned that a victim, identified as Soghayan, had been taken by a civilian to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Investigators said Soghayan, a Sherman Oaks resident, had become involved in a dispute with another man, who was booked on suspicion of murder but released after prosecutors said more investigation was needed.

Anyone with information is asked to call the LAPD's North Hollywood Division at (818) 623-4075.
