Los Angeles-area boy, 4, shot and killed in road rage incident, 2 suspects arrested

Authorities in Los Angeles County have identified a 4-year-old boy who was killed last week in a fatal road rage incident while with his family.

Gor Adamyan and his family were riding in a vehicle while they were on their way to buy groceries Friday afternoon in the Los Angeles suburb of Lancaster, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said.

The boy was sitting in the back seat when another driver cut them off and started following them.

The family’s car was slowing down on Sierra Highway near East Avenue J when another driver pulled up next to their vehicle and started shooting, authorities said.

The 4-year-old was hit in the upper body and killed. Witnesses at a nearby business rushed to help, Fox Los Angeles reported.

Adamyan eventually died from his injuries.

“There is absolutely no reason for this. It’s just domestic violence at its worst,” said Lancaster Mayor Rex Parris.

Two suspects have been arrested on suspicion of murder. They were identified as Byron Burkhurt, 29 years old and Alexandria Gentile, 27 years old.

“I hope they have shot them out of fear. Let’s be clear about that,” Parris said. “You can’t go into town and shoot a four-year-old and expect anything resembling due process, and the fact that they got that is unfortunate. I am not a big supporter of the death penalty. But there are some crimes that need something more than what they’re giving people because it’s getting worse.”
