  2. Mike Mike on April 19, 2023 at 10:41 am

    Never answer the door to unwanted guests.

  3. Larry Lo on April 19, 2023 at 10:41 am

    Damn they got all in story mode 😆

  4. Empress Truth on April 19, 2023 at 10:42 am

    Drug deal gone wrong? It’s definitely targeted. Criminals just don’t go randomly around and shoot people at their door

  5. AffordableWebsite Rescue on April 19, 2023 at 10:42 am

    A hit by the Russian mob?

  6. Writtenhouse Security on April 19, 2023 at 10:42 am

    🤣🤣 Oh let me guess . Did he think they didn’t have crews here ?

  7. MostHated818 on April 19, 2023 at 10:43 am

    He said safe neighborhood. Lmfao. Ah man. Wake up. You live in VN it’s not safe at alll.

    If one hears a door knock at 1am it is most likely the British therefore one should not answer the door ~Ben Franklin

  9. Dr KW on April 19, 2023 at 10:45 am

    Like a true introvert, when someone knocks on my door I just pretend I can’t hear them knocking until they give up and leave

  10. Harold Eisenhower on April 19, 2023 at 10:54 am

    The victim was most likely an Azerbaijani. A lot of Azerbaijanis live in Russia. If the son was killed in the 2020 Karabakh war, and the assassin is Armenian, then we can most likely come to a conclusion that the victim was Azerbaijani. I don’t blame the Armenian assassin for doing what he did. Azerbaijanis are immoral people. If anything, the assassin did the community a favor by smoking out the varmint.

    Van nuys is a major shithole

  12. Fajile on April 19, 2023 at 10:57 am

    One time the cops knocked on my door at 1 am, i didnt answer.

  13. The Quantum Explorer on April 19, 2023 at 10:59 am

    Everyone is trigger-happy in America.

  14. Vans3151 on April 19, 2023 at 11:00 am

    Why would you open the door to complete strangers? Even if they’re innocent or not, you do not open the door. Use common sense and stand on your ground! I had strangers coming to my house and I have a ringdoor camera which let me see the strangers. If I don’t know them, I don’t answer the door.

  15. Kat Jay on April 19, 2023 at 11:00 am

    Yes..very stupid move

  16. V's bare tummy & Suga's tongue technology7 on April 19, 2023 at 11:00 am

    So, sad. That’s why I don’t open the door to anyone, and I’m in Canada!

  17. Bill King on April 19, 2023 at 11:01 am

    I get the feeling he knew someone living there, and just took out the wrong person.

  18. Gustavo N. on April 19, 2023 at 11:02 am

    FSB operation

  19. Alfredo Martinez on April 19, 2023 at 11:03 am

    Putin connection

  20. V.Oakley ฯ on April 19, 2023 at 11:04 am

    You should be able to open your door. You should be able to leave your doors open if you want. People ‘idiots’ should not be acting like scum.

  21. BumpyBrown2 on April 19, 2023 at 11:05 am

    Nobody in America opens the door at 1am to a stranger…
    Even if you’re a immigrant new to America…
    So this is sus!

  22. Trac Phone on April 19, 2023 at 11:06 am

    "Newly arrived from Russia…" The killer isn’t "still out there" – he’s back in Moscow.

  23. kelly brown on April 19, 2023 at 11:07 am

    Don’t open for strangers

  24. on April 19, 2023 at 11:08 am

    Walkthrough:
    Allegedly suspect is Armenian.
    So how do we know this? Recognize language? cousin said this?
    His son perished in the Armenian war after all. Is that the link?

  25. L.T.Tacobell Call Of Duty on April 19, 2023 at 11:08 am

    Or it could be a hate crime since he’s from Russia

  26. FUBAR LIFE on April 19, 2023 at 11:09 am

    Never open the door

  27. Alesia on April 19, 2023 at 11:13 am

    so sad.

  28. TheBeLuvdTRex on April 19, 2023 at 11:14 am

    Van Nuys aint safe!!

  29. jose Rodriguez on April 19, 2023 at 11:15 am

    Crazy… next time someone knocks on my door I’ll hold my twin Glocks one in each hand and say who is it 😅

  30. beckiepanosbpm on April 19, 2023 at 11:15 am

    It sounds like a hate crime

  31. MI Bluejay on April 19, 2023 at 11:16 am

    Lock and load …… don’t open your doors

  32. Alfredo Sandoval on April 19, 2023 at 11:20 am

    Gilmore and what other street

  33. Empress Truth on April 19, 2023 at 11:21 am

    Why did she mention a crucifix?

  34. Rep. Rachel Frost (Floralda's 10th District) on April 19, 2023 at 11:21 am

  38. jay dee on April 19, 2023 at 11:25 am

    1:30 am someone knocking my door ? I won’t open the , and wait inside with my shotgun 12 gauge waiting to see what’s next …..

  39. kelly brown on April 19, 2023 at 11:25 am

    Never open the door for anybody strange

  40. Alex G on April 19, 2023 at 11:26 am

    Armenian’s are gangsters.

  41. Mopes27 on April 19, 2023 at 11:28 am

    So the report says that the victim was from Russia, but the report also says that the victim’s 18 year old son had fought and died in the war in Armenia a couple years back. So obviously there was an Armenian connection to the victim and the shooter.

  42. Debbie Johnson on April 19, 2023 at 11:28 am

    If the victim was hiding from someone, he didn’t do a very good job by opening the door.

  43. Some random person on April 19, 2023 at 11:29 am

    Welcome to the low-trust democrat shithole, they want the whole country to be like this

  44. Dion Afeworki on April 19, 2023 at 11:31 am

    Always look out my window first before open

  45. MotherTucker666 on April 19, 2023 at 11:33 am

    This isn’t a mass shooting stop pushing this false narrative

  46. Rock Salem on April 19, 2023 at 11:33 am

  47. John Payne on April 19, 2023 at 11:33 am

    Bring in John Wick. Soap dodger killer?

  48. Mister Vacation on April 19, 2023 at 11:34 am

    My half-wit son was telling me about this.

  49. Al Wash on April 19, 2023 at 11:36 am

    Nobody dies for no reason what you doing the dark sometimes comes back to the light

  50. galewinds on April 19, 2023 at 11:36 am
