Los Angeles Police Department homicide detectives have arrested a suspect in the attempted murder of a victim in Encino on Jan. 8 that has been tied to a case being investigated by the Beverly Hills Police Department.

The shooting occurred at approximately 5:50 p.m. in the 4900 block of Rupert Lane in Encino. Officers arrived to find the victim, identified as Amir Wolf, lying in his driveway, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds to the torso. Paramedics transported the victim to the hospital in critical condition, and he is expected to survive.

The investigators determined that Wolf was arriving at his home and pulling into the driveway when an armed male suspect approached on foot and fired numerous shots.  The suspect then ran to a vehicle that was parked on a nearby street.

Detectives believe the motive for the shooting involved an ongoing criminal investigation in Beverly Hills, which involved a sizeable jewelry theft from Wolf. Wolf’s brother-in-law, David Nahman, 53, has been charged with the theft. Detectives determined that Nahman also shot Wolf on Jan. 8.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office has now additionally charged Nahman with one count of attempted murder and one count of witness intimidation.  Detectives are still seeking any additional information regarding the case, and anyone with information is asked to call detectives at (818)374-7720. During weekends and off-hours, call (877)LAPD247.
