Four people died and two were injured at a shooting at a restaurant in North Hollywood, the New York Times reported.
Investigators believe the victims in the shooting at Hot Spot Cafe were targeted, and are investigating the situation.
Los Angeles police responded to an emergency call Saturday afternoon at the mediterranean restaurant but the gunmen had fled by the time they arrived.
A Los Angeles police officer said two people were taken to the hospital, where one died later. A fifth person remains in critical condition, the Associated Press reported.
Police are searching for the gunman, who is described as a 30-year-old male.
"We don't have a crazed gunman running around North Hollywood that presents an immediate threat to public safety, to anyone in their homes or businesses in the area," Deputy Chief Kirk Albanese said. "However, this is also not a random act of violence, this was an intentional act."
A motive for the attack was not known.
