WOODLAND HILLS, CA – The quiet suburb of Woodland Hills is reeling after the tragic shooting of a cherished local doctor outside his clinic. Dr. Hamid Mirush, 61, was fatally shot while heading to his car at the Warner Plaza Urgent Care on Monday evening.
The Los Angeles Police Department is in the early stages of its investigation and has yet to make any arrests. A spontaneous memorial of flowers and candles has sprung up at the site, a testament to the high regard in which Dr. Mirush was held. The shooting occurred just after 6 p.m., and officers arrived to find Dr. Mirush lying next to his vehicle, surrounded by bullet casings.
Dr. Mirush was more than just a healthcare provider; he was a pillar of the community. “He was always there for his patients, no matter what,” said one long-time patient. “He was like family to us.” Friends and family remember him as a kind-hearted man who was always willing to help those in need.
The motive for the shooting remains unknown, and the LAPD is appealing to the public for any information that could lead to an arrest. The Valley Bureau Homicide Division is spearheading the investigation and is determined to find the person responsible for this senseless act.
The community’s grief is palpable as they gather to honor Dr. Mirush’s memory. “He was a genuinely happy and friendly person,” said a family friend. “He would do anything for anyone, always putting others first.”
As the investigation unfolds, the community holds onto hope for justice while remembering the profound impact Dr. Mirush had on their lives. His legacy of kindness and dedication will not be forgotten.
