Armando Phillip Barba, 43, was shot and later died of his injuries after an attack on June 22, 2020, near 119 Lincoln Boulevard in Venice, Los Angeles. The shooting happened about 9:15 p.m. in the parking lot shared by a CVS Pharmacy and Whole Foods. Barba and another man, 21-year-old Christian Lopez of Culver City, were approached by an unknown suspect who fired multiple rounds. Lopez died at the scene; Barba was taken to a hospital where he succumbed to his wounds despite CPR.

Witnesses described a chaotic scene; emergency responders arrived roughly 30 to 40 minutes after the shooting. The suspect fled on foot north on Lincoln Boulevard. The motive is unknown and the LAPD has not concluded whether the attack was gang-related. No arrests have been announced and the LAPD West Bureau homicide office is asking anyone with information to come forward.

Does anyone have information about that night or saw someone running north on Lincoln Boulevard around 9:15 p.m.?
