Police: Shooter targeted 3 victims in gated LA community

Authorities say one of three men who were shot to death at a home in a gated Los Angeles community likely allowed the shooter inside.

Capt. Billy Hayes says the victims were targeted in the shooting Monday. He didn’t release suspect descriptions. Nobody had been arrested in connection with the killings.

Hayes says detectives believe they know what motivated the crime but withheld the information because the investigation is at "a critical juncture."

A woman in an upstairs bedroom of the large, two-story home in the affluent Porter Ranch neighborhood heard a gunshot and called 911.

The woman is described only as a resident of the home with some type of relationship with the man who rented it, 39-year-old Gary Davidson who was killed. The other victims are 46-year-old Benny Lopez from Anaheim and 34-year-old Jesus Perez from Perris.

Firefighters responding to a 911 call found the victims and called police to the residence in a housing development in the northwestern San Fernando Valley.

Guests and residents must drive past a guarded gate to enter the development, where homes list for more than $1 million.
