Gevork Kevin Minissian, 70, of Pasadena was fatally shot on November 23, 2021, in the 600 block of Sunnyslope Avenue. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner identified Minissian as the shooting victim. Pasadena police say the shooter was 24-year-old Devin Edward Hall of Inglewood, who that afternoon embarked on a violent spree that began around 2:30 p.m.

According to the police, Hall had no known connection to Minissian and the motive remains undetermined. After shooting Minissian, Hall attempted to carjack two women, then engaged in a shootout with officers near East Villa Street and North Sunnyslope Avenue; Hall was fatally struck by a gunshot. The coroner ruled Hall’s death a homicide but did not specify whether the wound was caused by police gunfire or was self-inflicted.

Detectives are continuing to investigate the sequence of events and whether there was any link between Hall and Minissian. Does anyone have information about Minissian’s activities that day or about witnesses on Sunnyslope Avenue?
