Homicide detectives and crime lab technicians Thursday morning were investigating the upstairs apartment where the shooting death took place.<\/p>\n

Several neighbors at the apartment complex said they were not aware a shooting had occurred that morning, because they didn’t hear any gunshots.<\/p>\n

They said it was common knowledge in the neighborhood that the apartment where the shooting occurred was a \u201cdrug house.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s all they do is go in there and get high,\u201d said Belinda Silva, who was staying with friends at a nearby apartment. Silva said she was not surprised that a killing had occurred at that apartment.<\/p>\n

The same apartment was targeted during a Valley-wide parole compliance operation in March.<\/p>\n

At the time, local parole agents searched the apartment for GPS-monitored sex offender Jose Sanchez<\/a>, who had gone missing after his ankle bracelet went dead.<\/p>\n

Agents did not find Sanchez at the apartment that day; however, deputies found several small packages of marijuana stuffed in a Lays Potato Chip container inside the apartment.<\/p>\n

An AB-109 probationer, 26-year-old John Gonzales, was arrested inside the apartment after he told deputies that the marijuana was for his personal use. (Read more on that here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Detectives are still investigating Thursday morning\u2019s shooting death, and no further information was available late Thursday afternoon. The victim\u2019s name has not been released pending next of kin notification.<\/p>\n

Anyone with information about this incident is encouraged to contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Homicide Bureau at 323-890-5500. To remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS (8477).<\/p>\n
