Karine Hakobyan, 38, was found fatally shot on March 26, 2010, in Hollywood, California. Her 14-year-old daughter discovered her slumped behind the wheel of her Honda CRV in the apartment complex carport, with a gunshot wound to the back of her head. Hakobyan had immigrated from Armenia, worked as a nursing assistant at Children’s Hospital, and lived in Hollywood’s Little Armenia district.

Eighteen months earlier, on December 11, 2008, Hakobyan’s husband, 43-year-old Khachik Safaryan, and their 9-year-old daughter Lucine had been found shot to death inside the family apartment; those killings were discovered by the same surviving daughter, then 12. After the 2008 murders Hakobyan and her daughter moved to a nearby complex to live with her in-laws, but the family was struck again in 2010.

On April 22, 2010, authorities arrested Alberd Tersargyan, a man known to the family, at his Hollywood-area home after seizing unregistered firearms. Ballistics later linked one of the handguns to Hakobyan’s killing. Investigators said they believed there was a connection between the three deaths, though a definitive public link between Tersargyan and the 2008 murders had not been confirmed and the motive remained unclear.

If anyone knew Karine, her family, or had information about Tersargyan’s ties to them, please share what you know.
