11:10 p.m. Tujunga Ave. and Vallerio Street, North Hollywood

An LAPD officer in the field radios into the dispatcher that a “Felony hit-and-run just occurred, suspect vehicle black four-door sedan with a white sticker, last seen westbound on Vallerio from Tujunga.” A few minutes later, the officer adds more details, saying the car is described as a “possible Honda Accord with a white sticker with large, white lettering.”

 

11:19 p.m. 13600 block of Vallerio Street, Van Nuys

Van Nuys units are told by the dispatcher about a possible shooting that just occurred and that “the PR heard six shots, yelling and a vehicle speeding away from the dead end.” Units are advised to respond “code 3” (with lights and sirens).

11:21 p.m. Another 911 call comes in from the 13600 block of Vallerio reporting shots fired near the dead end. The PR reports that the vehicle was last seen eastbound on Vallerio and is reported to be a dark four-door unknown make and model. (The report of the car travelling “eastbound” is likely false as the only way to travel from the dead end street is west.) Six or seven shots are reported.
