Police said the father shot himself after killing the boys, and the children died at a nearby hospital.

  • Adolfo Gramajo, 35, allegedly shot his two sons, Jimmy Gramajo, 4, and Osmani Gramajo, 11, before turning the gun on himself Sunday afternoon in Los Angeles' Pico-Union neighborhood.
  • The brothers were spending time with their father during a custody visit, which reportedly included a trip to McDonald's shortly before the shooting near Venice Boulevard and Catalina Street.
  • Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner records confirmed both boys died from gunshot wounds to the head. Their father survived the incident and remains in police custody with bail set at $4 million.
  • On Monday, loved ones gathered at the intersection leaving candles, flowers, and balloons in remembrance. Their aunt, Maria Lopez, described the boys as "really good kids."
  • LAPD Juvenile Division detectives are continuing the investigation, though a motive remains unknown. Authorities have urged witnesses to contact Detective Wilfredo Ortiz or Crime Stoppers for information.
