Detectives with the Los Angeles Police Department’s West Bureau Homicide Unit are investigating a murder and suicide that occurred in Koreatown.
On May 9 at approximately 8:10 p.m., officers from the LAPD’s Olympic Division responded to a call about a shooting at a bar near 14th Street and Western Avenue. Police and firefighters responded and pronounced 36-year-old Siria Imelda Portillo dead.
The suspect was later identified as the victim’s estranged husband, 40-year-old Bob Leonel Duran.
A murder warrant was issued for Duran’s arrest. On May 26, he was located inside an apartment in the 200 block of North Kenmore Avenue. At approximately 2:15 p.m., the suspect barricaded himself inside and SWAT officers were summoned. The suspect fired shots at officers, but no officers were injured and they did not return fire. Following a lengthy standoff, officers discovered the suspect dead inside the apartment from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
