An Armenian man was shot and killed after he opened the front door of his Woodland Hills neighborhood home in Los Angeles, California, expecting a pizza delivery.

Hovik Krboyan, 37, was at home with his wife and 9-year-old daughter close to midnight when he answered the front door, reported the Los Angeles Times. 

A Los Angeles police detective told KTLA-TV they think Krboyan opened the door because he had ordered a pizza. Instead, he was met by unidentified assailants.  

That’s when he was shot and killed outside his home, police said.

His wife and daughter were not harmed.

Ed Winter, spokesman of the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner, said detectives interviewed neighbors who reported hearing gunshots. 

The pizza delivery arrived minutes after the shooting.

Police think the man knew the assailants.

“We aren’t sure yet what’s behind this man’s shooting, but cases like this often stem from business or domestic disputes,” LAPD Capt. Paul Vernon said in a statement.

An investigation is underway.
