Artyom Gasparyan, 32, is charged with one count of murder with the special circumstance of shooting from a motor vehicle. He also faces 10 counts of attempted murder, seven counts of second-degree robbery, two counts of carjacking, two counts of fleeing police while driving recklessly, one count of hit and run resulting in injury and one count of possession of a firearm by a felon.

Gasparyan was allegedly involved in a crime spree that began last August and occurred throughout Los Angeles County, from West Hollywood to Panorama City and Burbank to Long Beach.

On Jan. 4, police saw Gasparyan at an auto repair business in Sunland and a police pursuit ensued. The chase ended when Gasparyan crashed on the northbound 5 Freeway near Sylmar.

The suspect, who was armed with a handgun, got out of his vehicle and tried to run before being shot by officers.

Authorities linked Gasparyan to a shooting in West Hollywood that occurred shortly before 1 a.m. on Dec. 29 in the 1000 block of Kings Road. The suspect allegedly shot an unidentified restaurant deliveryman.

The victim was struck multiple times in the lower torso. He was treated at a hospital and later released. Inves-tigators said the motive for the shooting app-ears to be robbery. Gaspar-yan was also charged in a series of robberies, attempted murders, carjackings and other crimes in December. Allegedly he shot a man in northeast Los Angeles on Dec. 6 and shot and wounded two men in Burbank on Dec. 9. On Dec. 30, he allegedly shot and killed an unidentified victim in Panorama City.

On Jan. 1, an off-duty officer recognized a Volkswagen on the Century (105) Freeway as wanted in the crime spree. The officer followed the Volkswagen and notified fellow officers who then joined the pursuit.

When the Volkswagen stopped in South Los Angeles, a passenger who was allegedly Gasparyan’s accomplice, later identified as Daniel Ramirez, 25, jumped out of the car and carjacked another driver at gunpoint. Gasparyan, who is believed to have been driving the Volkswagen, fled the scene and eluded police.

Officers pursued the vehicle, stolen at gunpoint by Ramirez, to a residence in Long Beach, where the suspect forced his way into a home, shot two people and stabbed another before taking his own life.

In addition to the crimes in December, Gasparyan was charged with attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon for an incident that occurred in Van Nuys on Aug. 5.
