Early Monday morning (April 29), a security guard was shot in Encino, California, at a home linked to music executive and co-manager of The Weeknd, Amir “Cash” Esmailian.
The LAPD dispatched Advertising sign statement about the incident at 2:30 a.m. “The victim (M/B/37 years old) was inside a guard hut when he heard several gunshots and discovered he had been hit. The suspects (3 M/NFD) fled the scene. LAFD responded and transported the victim to a local hospital in unknown condition. Location: , 17500 block of Jayden Lane (RD 1067), April 29, 2024 at 2:25 am.
A resident spoke KTLA and explained that the affluent neighborhood is quiet and rarely experiences violent incidents like this one. “I'm sure everything that happened here was caught on the security camera,” she said. Unfortunately, this can also bring risks with it.”
said the police KTLA that Esmailian was inside the home at the time of the incident, but it is unclear if the suspects ever entered the residence. A separate report from KTTV notes that the injured guard called the police and identified the suspects as three hooded and masked men. Although the unnamed guard was in critical condition in hospital, he will make a full recovery. Sources say Advertising sign that it was an attempted home invasion.
According KTLA, Esmalian's home is reportedly for sale for $12 million. In addition to his work with The Weeknd as his manager and co-founder of the singer's XO Records, Esmailian has collaborated with top hip-hop acts such as Travis Scott, Lil Uzi Vert and Diddy. The executive is currently embroiled in the Drake and Kendrick Lamar feud, which saw Drake take shots at The Weeknd and Esmalian himself on the track “Push Ups.”
Advertising sign Esmalian's reps have been contacted for comment. Watch a FOX 11 video of the incident below.
