Lancaster Sheriff’s deputies responding to a Lake Los Angeles home burglary call Friday morning found a 55-year-old man dead inside the home, according to a press release from the Sheriff’s Headquarters Bureau. Read it below:

Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Homicide detectives are continuing their investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of a 55-year-old man that occurred in the 40200 block of 162nd Street East Lake Los Angeles.

Detectives learned that at approximately 6:30 am [Friday, July 11], deputies from Lancaster Station responded to a burglary call at the location.

After making entry into the residence, the deputies found the victim deceased with trauma to the upper torso area.

There is no suspect nor motive information at this time.  The cause of death is unknown.

Homicide detectives initially reported that the victim had been shot to death. Detectives later said it was difficult to determine the cause of death because there was quite a bit of blood at the scene.

    Lake Los Angeles is certainly getting a lot of bad press the last few days. Is it really that bad out there and if so why would anyone want to live there?

      Mostly, it’s a quiet area that people have lived in most of their lives. I live out here right around the corner from both of the bad occurrences. We have family movies in the park. Community fun and parades, and you can walk down the street and people say hello. Most of the time, you just worry about coyotes, mountain lions, and feral dogs. Not even the snakes come out very often. There is bad everywhere nowadays.
