Saturday, May 2, 2026 6:29AMA man was hospitalized after being shot Friday while parking in a Granada Hills neighborhood. His brother, who says was with him in the car when shots rang out, is speaking out about the terrifying moment.
Still bleeding, injured and shaken, the victim's brother says he was sitting right next to him when gunfire started and believes this was no random attack. He said his brother has received threats for weeks. Investigators have not confirmed a motive, but say it could be gang-related, describing the five to ten suspects as young Black men. Police say the shooting happened just before 6 p.m. at the Granada Gardens apartment complex.
The victim's brother says after the shooting, his brother was screaming for help and accelerated his car, crashing into a tree nearby. The impact was so severe that it left the man with visible injuries to his mouth and what he believes to be a fractured arm.
When asked why he didn't want to go to the hospital, he said: "Because I wanted to stay here to make a statement, I was the one that saw everything, and they shot more than 8 rounds.
" "He's my only brother I got and everyone sees that we work hard for our things and we have everything in life and people wanna just take that away from us... I wish I did get shot instead of my brother because he's literally my only brother and it just hurts me a lot. You know.
""I never imagined it. I went to do laundry and the whole little gang was there, but I never imagined this would happen. I heard the gunshots-like six or seven. They were aimed at the boy," said resident Norma in Spanish.
She expressed frustration, saying the apartment complex banned personal security cameras -- like Ring doorbells -- just two months ago. Now, only the complex has surveillance video, which they say has been turned over to police. Police are still searching for the suspects, who they say ran away from the scene right after the shooting. As for the victim, he is expected to survive.
