A man found dead today inside a Hollywood Hills home appeared to be the victim of a homicide, and police sought another man seen fleeing from the area, authorities said.
The man was found in a residence in the 6700 block of Milner Road about 2:15 a.m., said Officer Drake Madison of the Los Angeles Police Department’s Media Relations Division.
Authorities withheld the name of the man, who was in his 40s, pending family notification, the coroner’s office said. The cause of death was not immediately disclosed.
Officers taped off the crime scene, which is in the area of Milner Road and Highland Avenue. According to reports from the scene, the man suffered head trauma and the crime may have involved a burglary. No arrests were immediately reported.
Police said a man wearing a black jacket was seen “fleeing” the area, Madison said. That man was described as black, about 5 feet 8 inches tall with a thin build and short black hair, according to Madison.
