Police Monday revealed more details about the arrest of a 47-year-old man in the fatal shooting of a 32-year-old man following a fistfight on a busy North Hollywood street.
Carlos Meza allegedly shot the victim, Luke Reynolds, at about 1:45 a.m. Saturday in front of a bar in the 11100 block of Magnolia Boulevard, near Lankershim Boulevard, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
Police said “several individuals became involved in a fistfight in front of a business,” and Reynolds was shot several times and pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics from the Los Angeles Fire Department.
Video posted on ABC7 showed Reynolds squaring off with two men dressed in dark clothing near cars parked along the street. The victim landed a punch before he was taken to the ground by the second man and the fight continued. The video does not appear to capture the shooting.
The two men reportedly fled the scene in a vehicle.
On Sunday afternoon, investigators located Meza in the area of Vineland Avenue and Vanowen Street, where he was taken into custody following a use-of-force, according to police.
Meza was treated at a local hospital before being booked into Van Nuys Jail on suspicion of murder, where he was being held without bail.
A description of the second man was unavailable.
