“So right now, that’s part of an ongoing investigation that’s being conducted by the Robbery-Homicide division,” said LAPD Lt. James Mylonakis. “So we’re just inside, we’re taking photographs, collecting any physical evidence.”
“As an Angeleno, I’m very concerned, obviously,” Lt. Mylonakis continued. “It’s just the mayor of the city and we’re concerned for any resident that has somebody just come into their home. So, we treat this very seriously.”
