A father £nded the lives of his two young sons in broad daylight and then tried to take his own life in Los Angeles, California.
The incident occurred on a Koreatown street on October 12, leaving their grief-stricken family to mourn the boys.
Adolfo Gramajo, 35, the perpetrator and their father, has been booked, the Los Angeles Police Department told the California Post.
His bail has been set at $4 million.
Records with the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner identified the children as 11-year-old Osmani Gramajo Bonilla and 4-year-old Jimmy Gramajo Bonilla.
The cause of d£mise for Osmani was listed as “gunshot wound to the head,” while Jimmy’s was “close range gunshot wound to the head.”
The LAPD said officers responded to a shooting in Pico-Union on Sunday shortly before 1 p.m., where they found two boys and their father seriously hurt. The children were taken to area hospitals, where they were pronounced d£ceased, police said.
FOX 11 Los Angeles reported that family members said Gramajo had been spending time with the boys during a custody visit and had told their mother he planned to take them out to eat.
Detectives have not disclosed a possible motive or said what occurred before the shooting.
Police said the investigation remains ongoing, adding that anyone who has information about the shooting should contact Detective Wilfredo Ortiz of LAPD’s Juvenile Division at 213-486-0530.
