Authorities are currently searching for the perpetrator responsible for the tragic incident at a Metro Orange Line bus stop in Reseda, which resulted in one fatality and one injury.
Upon receiving a report of a shooting at the intersection of Reseda Boulevard and Oxnard Street at approximately 7:30 p.m. on Friday, officers from the Los Angeles Police Department discovered two victims in the parking lot. Both individuals had suffered multiple gunshot wounds.
Emergency medical personnel swiftly transported both victims to a nearby hospital. Unfortunately, Brandyn Rodrigo Mendez, a 28-year-old resident of Van Nuys, succumbed to his injuries. Meanwhile, the other victim remains in stable condition.
“The two victims had just arrived at the Orange Line bus station when they encountered the suspect,” stated the police. “During the altercation, the suspect brandished a handgun and proceeded to discharge multiple rounds at the victims. The suspect promptly fled the scene.”
As of now, no specific information regarding the suspect has been released. Homicide detectives from the LAPD Valley Bureau are urging anyone with relevant information concerning the shooting to contact them at 818-374-9550 or 877-527-3247. Alternatively, anonymous tips can be submitted to Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477 or through the website lacrimestoppers.org or www.lapdonline.org.
This incident marks the second violence-related fatality at or near a Metro station within the past 72 hours. On Tuesday, a man was fatally stabbed during a confrontation on the Crenshaw Station Line in Hawthorne. The victim, however, retaliated by shooting the assailant who was subsequently apprehended by deputies from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
