Los Angeles Apartment Murder: A legal dispute submitted as a suspect is charged with murder

Valley Village, Los Angeles (KABC) – A man was charged with murder

The 27 -year -old Erick Escamilla was arrested when the detectives of the FBI and the Los Angeles police found him in a local hospital on Thursday.

The indictment is submitted on the same day when the victim's family submitted an illegal complaint against the apartment complex, in which the stab was carried out.

Suspected murder

Escamilla's concern ended an almost two -week search that began on April 26 when the police in the Ashton Sherman Village Complex carried out a social control in the 12600 block of the Riverside Drive. In the unit on the fifth floor, the officials found the 53-year-old menashe hidra dead.

Hidra died three days before the welfare check, said the prosecutors.

The police said Escamilla accessed the roof of the apartment building and used a skylight to enter the apartment next to Hidra's unit. Escamilla then climbed from the balcony of free unit to the Hidra's apartment attached and went to a “violent confrontation” with the victim.

Escamilla stabbed Hidra with a screwdriver, claims the district of the district in Los Angeles. The stitch occurred shortly before 4 a.m. on April 23.

The suspect was said to have been seen on Ring Doorbell video to get into apartments with a screwdriver.

The neighbors say they heard the fight and called in 911, but the police did not enter the apartment.

Escamilla was charged with murder and burglary of residential buildings. The murder suspicion includes a special allegations of the murder during the establishment of a break -in and allegations that he personally used a screwdriver in the attack on the victim and has a previous strike due to burglary in residential areas.

Legal dispute submitted

The residents of the apartment complex informed Eyewitness News that they informed the management of their security concerns before the murder and complained about transients that collapse into the complex.

They said they are frustrated that they got little help from the real estate management company and said that the murder could not have happened.

Attorney Steve Vartazarian represents Hidra's family in a legal dispute submitted on Friday against Ashton Sherman Village Complex. In the lawsuit it was claimed that the management was repeatedly ignored affected residents.

“In the six months before this incident on April 23, I have over 50 written complaints to the real estate management,” he said.

Vartazarian said the killing was avoidable.

“It is the most outrageous form of neglect that I have ever met in all my years of practicing right,” Vartazarian told Eyewitness News.

Hidra was from Tel Aviv and led a attic. Hours after the arrest, one of Hidra's neighbors on the other side of the hall said that she wanted justice for him and his family.

“A man was killed by chance for no reason, because something that was easy to avoid,” said Vartazarian.

Eyewitness News turned to real estate management to get a comment, but did not hear.
