Armen Ordakyan was an 18-year-old male who was shot and killed on June 5, 2002, in East Hollywood, Los Angeles. The Los Angeles County coroner’s records list the cause of death as a gunshot wound. Initial reports said details about what led to the shooting were scarce, and the incident was one of several fatal shootings affecting young people in the neighborhood.

The Los Angeles Police Department opened an investigation into the killing. Early information indicated the case involved a shooting with multiple people later identified in connection to the incident; reports named one key suspect as Armen Oganyan and described allegations that tied him to the violent encounter. The violence left a family and community mourning a young life ended by gunfire.

Does anyone have additional information about Armen, his movements that day, or witnesses who might help clarify what happened?
