Burbank Police detectives were looking Tuesday for whoever gunned down a 30-year-old North Hollywood man, then wrapped his body in plastic before dumping him in an open field near a Burbank lumber yard.
The body of Nshan Balyan was found behind Stock Lumber at 640 N. Victory Blvd. at 12:35 p.m. Thursday, said Burbank police Sgt. Claudio Losacco. He was shot multiple times and was the victim of homicide, said Los Angeles County coroner’s Lt. Larry Dietz.
Officers responded and found the corpse with only the feet exposed, Losacco said.
“The Burbank Police Department is handling this case as a homicide investigation,” Losacco said. “Detectives do not believe Balyan was killed at the location (where) he was found. We have not determined where Balyan died.”
Detectives were reviewing video from security cameras in the general area, Losacco said.
Anyone with information on the crime was urged to call Detective Mike Edwards at (818) 238-3210, or Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-TIPS. All tips can be submitted anonymously.
