Armen Sahakyan, 41, a Burbank resident, was fatally shot at his home in the 900 block of Cambridge Drive in the early hours of July 21, 2020. Burbank Police say he was found in an upstairs bedroom about 1:25 a.m. His wife was also shot in that room and hospitalized in critical condition. The couple’s three children, ages 17, 13, and 7, were in the house but unharmed; they were placed in protective custody and later reunited with family.

Police identified 34-year-old Edward Lopez of Los Angeles as a suspect. Lopez was found in the Sahakyan driveway with at least one gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities said the shooting did not appear random but had not released a motive, and the investigation was ongoing.
