(Another) Homicide in Stevenson Ranch/Westridge

Los Angeles news outlets are reporting the slaying of a 37 year old man in the parking lot of the multi-use office building that sits at the corner of Valencia Boulevard and The Old Road and houses such businesses as a Wells Fargo bank branch, the local branch of Pardee Homes and the law offices of  Hacker and Braly.  The slaying occured at around 6:45 pm on Tuesday, December 22.

While no one has released the name of the victim, KCAL is reporting the victim was the owner of a credit repair company that had recently relocated to the building and was holding its holiday party when the victim stepped outside and was shot multiple times standing next to a white BMW.

This is the third homicide in memory in that rather small slice of the SCV.  Recall the stabbing death of an elderly restaurant worker in the Marketplace (unsolved) and the stabbing/vehicular homicide of the young man two years ago this Thanksgiving (solved) and this small area that residents consider quite safe attracts an outsize share of sudden horrendous violence.

    That’s also the district HQ for Buck McKeon, right? Also notable violence on the West Side was the pre-9/11 ATF/LASD joint raid where the guy shot the deputy.

    Wasn’t there also a mid 20 year old son who stabbed to death his parents when they refused the car so he could go buy more alcohol. I believe that happened on the West side about 10 years ago???

    Jim: That was around 1997. I recall the guy killed his mother but his Dad survived. The Dad worked on the Leno show, so Jay Leno mentioned it on air.

    mike: Buck’s district office is also there. That’s got to be spooking all the folks that work there today.

    “the victim was the owner of a credit repair company” Obviously someone’s credit wasn’t repaired to his liking.

    For those of you so inclined say a prayer for the family of Nabil Tawab left stricken by this horrible crime.

    Sounds like a hit to me. Similar to Anthony Lombardi.

    What a tragic event.

    I’m with Jeff on this one! It was a hit and unless there are witnesses, this one won’t get solved! If there are witness’s, they’re being very well protected!
