Man found shot to death in car near Disneyland 

Authorities in Anaheim are investigating after a man was found shot to death in a car in a residential neighborhood near Disneyland. 

According to preliminary reports, police officers were dispatched to the 2000 block of South Margie Lane in Anaheim just before 8:45 p.m. Monday on a shots fired call. 

Upon arriving, the officers located a man sitting in a vehicle with at least one gunshot wound. Responding paramedics pronounced him deceased at the scene. 

Video taken just after the shooting shows officers taping off the area while beginning to search for clues, and several evidence markers were seen near a gray sedan. 

It is unclear whether the victim was sitting in his own vehicle or a vehicle belonging to someone else. Investigators have yet to release a possible motive for the shooting and no one was immediately taken into custody, according to preliminary information.

The decedent — whose name has not been released — is believed to be 25 years old and a resident of the area. 

A woman who said she lives next door to the man who died told KTLA 5 Orange County Bureau Chief Chip Yost that she heard several “booms” while inside her home and immediately knew they were gunshots.

“My daughter got up and I said ‘That was a gunshot’ and then my dog ran into the backyard and I’m thinking that my dog is going to get shot,” Kathryn Kelly said. “I didn’t hear anything else until my son came and said ‘Mom, there’s crime scene tape next door’.”

She described the victim as “super good young man” who frequently went to the gym and was part of “a wonderful family.”

The neighborhood in which the fatal shooting occurred lies immediately to the west of the Anaheim Convention Center and southwest of Disneyland.
