Marat Manukyan, an 18-year-old young man from Armenia, was shot in the back at 1310 Raymer Street in North Hollywood and died at 10:30 p.m. Thursday, April 26.

Det. Steve Castro of LAPD’s North Hollywood station said Manukyan had been in an argument earlier in the day with another man. The two met again in the street, and the argument escalated to gunfire. Police responded to calls of shots fired and Manukyan was taken to Holy Cross hospital, where he died. He had been in the country about one year, Castro said.
