Brian Pleytez, a 25-year-old Latino male, was shot and killed on May 9, 2015, in North Hollywood while waiting for his vehicle at a car wash on Laurel Canyon Boulevard. The Los Angeles County coroner’s records list a gunshot wound to the head. The shooting occurred about 1:40 p.m. and was witnessed by several customers.

Reports describe a confrontation with another man who had been acting erratically—cursing, yelling, and brandishing a weapon—before producing a handgun and firing multiple rounds. Officers apprehended the suspect a block away and recovered a weapon at the scene. Investigators explored a possible gang connection but did not establish that definitively in the initial reports.

The community and Pleytez’s family mourned his death and sought justice. Does anyone who was at the Laurel Canyon car wash that day or who knew Brian have additional details to share?
