Harut Baburyan, a 28‑year‑old Armenian man, was fatally shot on April 3, 2010, at about 4:30 p.m. inside the Hot Spot Mediterranean Café on Riverside Drive in the Valley Village area of North Hollywood, Los Angeles. The attack was described as assassination‑style: multiple gunshots were fired during what investigators say began as an argument at a memorial gathering earlier that day. Four men were killed at the scene or later from their wounds; two others were injured. Authorities reported all six men present were known to one another and that the number of shots suggested more than one shooter could have been involved, though that remained uncertain. Security video did not capture the interior or identify a suspect. Baburyan’s record included a 2000 conviction for receiving stolen property and a 2006 no contest plea for illegal possession of a semi‑automatic weapon.

Police identified 28‑year‑old Nerses Arthur Galstyan as the suspected shooter and later arrested him, along with his brother Samuel Galstyan, in connection with the killings. Prosecutors said the shooting came after a verbal dispute in which Galstyan felt disrespected; defense counsel raised a self‑defense claim. Does anyone have information about the gathering that day or recall seeing anything near the Hot Spot Café on April 3, 2010?
