Gang Members Shot and
Killed 15 Year-Old
On August 13, 2005, at 11:00
p.m., North Hollywood Area patrol officers responded to a
shooting call in the 11400 block of Tiara Street in North
Hollywood. Upon arrival they discovered the 15 year-old
victim lying in the alley with a gunshot wound to his
head. The victim was taken to a local hospital, but died
from his injuries on August 14, 2005.
Detectives’ investigation
revealed the victim, Samuel Salas, was walking with a
friend, a 21 year-old man, when his friend was suddenly
attacked by three to four male Hispanic gang members. As
the suspects demanded to know Salas’ friend’s
gang affiliation, they began beating him and seven to ten
additional gang members joined in the beating. Salas ran
to the group in an attempt to help his friend when one of
the suspects pulled out a handgun and fired several
shots. Salas was struck once in the head.
