Lyova Heroyan, 35, was found shot to death inside his Hollywood apartment building on North Cherokee Avenue late the morning of September 13, 2025. A roommate discovered the body at about 10 a.m. in the 1200 block of North Cherokee Avenue, a corridor of older apartment houses just east of Highland Avenue. The medical examiner listed the manner of death as homicide and the cause as multiple gunshot wounds.

Reporting from the scene indicates the violence likely occurred much earlier that morning, around 1:30 a.m., inside the building where Heroyan lived. County homicide records and community memorial listings confirm the date, location, and name of the decedent. Authorities have not announced an arrest or publicly identified a suspect and detectives have asked anyone with information to contact investigators.

Did anyone in Hollywood that morning see or hear anything on North Cherokee Avenue around 1:30 a.m. that could help the investigation?
