Svetlana Asnaimer, 59, was fatally shot on November 29, 2024, around 4 p.m. on the 6000 block of Barton Avenue in Hollywood, near Santa Monica Boulevard and Gower Street. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner identified her and ruled the cause of death multiple gunshot wounds; the coroner classified the manner of death as homicide.

LAPD reports say a man in his 60s approached Asnaimer, an argument turned physical, and the man shot her multiple times. The shooter then fled eastbound on Barton Avenue in a vehicle; police have not released a vehicle description and the suspect remains unidentified and at large. Investigators say they believe the incident was isolated and that there is no ongoing threat to the community.

Friends and neighbors describe Asnaimer as generous and caring. Anyone with information is asked to contact the LAPD Hollywood station or Crime Stoppers; does anyone have details about the area or saw a vehicle leaving eastbound on Barton Avenue that afternoon?
