Man Shot and Killed Inside Burbank Apartment in Possible Home Invasion

Homicide detectives are on scene investigating the circumstances surrounding the shooting.

One person is dead following a shooting during a possible home invasion at an apartment building in Burbank early Tuesday morning.

A man was found inside an apartment with multiple gunshot wounds and died at the scene, said Lt. Barcus with the Burbank Police Department.

Officers responded to the 200 block of Tujunga Ave., near Victory Blvd. shortly before 2 a.m. after receiving several emergency calls reporting a possible home invasion, assault with a deadly weapon, and shooting, according to Burbank police. At least one caller reported the sound of gunfire.

Video from the scene shows yellow crime scene tape blocking off the area on both sides of the street and a young woman talking with police. That woman led police upstairs to an apartment, where a man with at least one gunshot wound was dead.

Homicide detectives are on scene investigating the circumstances surrounding the shooting. It was not immediately clear if this was a home invasion.

"Investigators are looking for a motive and trying to determine what circumstances led up to the shooting, including the possibility of a home invasion-type robbery," police said in a statement.

Police are still searching for the shooter. The identity of the man shot has not been released.
