1 Killed, 3 Injured In Panorama City Shooting; Suspect Sought

PANORAMA CITY, CA — The suspect responsible for fatally shooting a man and injuring three others shortly after a traffic collision Wednesday in Panorama City was still at large on Friday, authorities said.

The three victims taken to local hospitals were reportedly in stable condition on Friday, according to a report from the Los Angeles Police Department.

On Wednesday around 2:30 p.m., Mission Division Patrol officers were dispatched to the area of Tobias Avenue and Parthenia Street to respond to reports of a traffic collision. Shortly after, the call was upgraded to an "ambulance shooting, victims down."

Officers found four victims suffering from multiple gunshot wounds, officials said. Jonathan Santillano, 37, of Sylmar, was pronounced dead at the scene by the Los Angeles Fire Department.

A second man was taken to a local hospital in stable condition, a third man was taken to a hospital in unknown condition and a fourth man was treated at the scene, LAPD said.

Police investigation revealed that three vehicles of the victims had been involved in a traffic collision. As the men began to exchange information, an "unknown" suspect approached the group and started shooting at them.

The suspect fled on foot in an unknown direction. Police did not have a description of the man.
