Mark Jay Weitz, 58, of Los Angeles died on August 8, 2018. A longtime professional auctioneer and President and Managing Partner of CA Global Partners, he was survived by daughters Channing and Daelyn Weitz and a large extended family. He was known for his involvement in the auction and liquidation business and his interest in local sports, including the UCLA Bruins.

His death was initially reported as an accident but coroner’s records later showed he died of gunshot wounds in Encino, changing the case to a homicide investigation. The Los Angeles Police Department investigated but there were no immediate arrests or identified suspects, and investigators faced a lack of witnesses and concrete evidence.

The case remained open with detectives pursuing leads but no public breakthrough reported. If anyone knew Mark, saw anything in Encino on August 8, 2018, or has information that could help, please come forward.
