The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department is searching for three armed suspects wanted in connection with a violent robbery and shooting that occurred on Thursday, October 1, 2026, in West Hollywood, California. The incident took place around 5:15 p.m. on the 8700 block of Holloway Drive, near the intersection with Hancock Avenue. According to law enforcement and witness accounts, an adult male victim was targeted while exiting Fugazi, a high-end retail clothing store located at 8750 Holloway Drive. Three masked men, described as adult males of average build, allegedly jumped the victim, robbed him, and opened fire. The victim sustained gunshot wounds, including injuries to the lower back, and was transported to a local hospital where he is expected to recover. Surveillance footage obtained by investigators and shared on social media depicts the suspects emerging from a vehicle, surrounding the victim, and firing multiple shots before fleeing the scene. Witnesses reported hearing between five and thirty-five gunshots during the attack. The suspects are believed to have escaped in a silver Kia sedan. The vehicle is described as having a damaged front hood, with the front license plate removed and the rear license plate covered. The suspects were last seen heading east on Holloway Drive. Sgt. Joe Cho of the West Hollywood Sheriff’s Station confirmed that deputies are actively searching for the three gunmen and the getaway vehicle. No arrests have been made as of the latest update on Friday, October 2, 2026. Investigators have recovered at least ten shell casings from the scene. A stray bullet struck the front window of Fugazi, and the suspects reportedly hit a black Ferrari parked nearby while fleeing. Authorities have not confirmed if the shooting is connected to a separate burglary that occurred at a nearby business on the same block ten days prior. The public is urged to contact the West Hollywood Sheriff’s Station with any information regarding the suspects or the silver Kia.
