Here’s what’s known about the attacks.
One day after a shooting rampage in the San Fernando Valley left four dead and three injured, authorities are trying to sort out what prompted the string of violence.
Police say Gerry Dean Zaragoza, 26, first shot his father, mother and brother at their home in Canoga Park in the middle of the night, then shot a woman he reportedly knew a few miles away.“He didn’t even talk to his last victim,” said LAPD Capt. Billy Hayes, who oversees the department’s Robbery-Homicide Division. “It doesn’t look like there was any interaction between them.”LAPD Deputy Chief Kris Pitcher, who oversees detectives, said authorities have not identified a motive in the shootings.
“Getting the suspect into custody was the priority,” he said, adding that detectives will now focus on building a case to submit to prosecutors.Authorities say Zaragoza attacked his family inside their apartment in the 21900 block of Roscoe Boulevard in Canoga Park. His 50-year-old father and 20-year-old brother were fatally shot. His mother suffered a gunshot wound and was taken to a hospital in stable condition, police said.
Police say Zaragoza knew the woman who was shot, but authorities have not determined the specifics of their relationship, LAPD Deputy Chief Jorge Rodriguez said. A family member told that Zaragoza once dated the woman and that he became obsessed with her after she broke off the relationship.Police say a person matching Zaragoza’s description tried to rob a man outside a Bank of America branch at Sherman Way and Topanga Canyon Boulevard in Canoga Park. Authorities don’t know whether there was any personal connection between the robbery suspect and the victim.
