Emil Lahaziel, 39, was fatally shot outside a home in the 7800 block of Fareholm Drive in the Hollywood Hills on June 7, 2023, at about 2 a.m. Lahaziel, originally from Ashkelon, Israel, was living in Miami with his wife and five children and had been in Los Angeles for a gathering at a friend’s residence. He was standing outside speaking with another person when that individual produced a handgun and shot him multiple times. The shooter fled in an unknown vehicle and emergency responders pronounced Lahaziel dead at the scene.

Eyewitnesses reported that a high-stakes poker game was underway at the house that night, and actor Adam DeVine, who lives nearby, said he saw luxury vehicles arrive and later witnessed the shooting from his balcony. No arrests have been made and the suspect remains unidentified; the Los Angeles Police Department is investigating motive and seeking tips.

If anyone was at the gathering or saw vehicles or people leaving the area around 2 a.m., can you share what you remember?
