Police have arrested two suspects in the shocking murder of a beloved doctor in California, raising questions about the motive behind the crime
Los Angeles: A beloved celebrity doctor was tragically shot and killed in August. Dr. Hamid Mirshojae, 61, was leaving his clinic when he was ambushed.
Witnesses say the whole thing was caught on surveillance video. The shooter approached from behind and fired at close range. It was a shocking scene.
Dr. Mirshojae was pronounced dead right there at the scene. Just recently, police announced they arrested two suspects, Evan Hardman from Texas and Rose Sweeting from California.
Both are facing murder charges, but the motive for the attack is still a mystery. It’s really unsettling.
Interestingly, just months before this incident, Dr. Mirshojae was attacked by three men with baseball bats. It’s unclear if that was connected to his murder.
Originally from Iran, he had a long career in emergency care and addiction medicine. His patients included many celebrities, but details about them remain private.
At the time of the shooting, his wife and their six-month-old baby were visiting family in Turkey. It’s just heartbreaking.
