LOS ANGELES - Homicide detectives with the Los Angeles Police Department continue to investigate a shooting in North Hollywood that left three men dead and a fourth man hospitalized.

The LAPD received a shots fired call around 9:30 p.m. Monday about a shooting that possibly happened in the parking lot of Ernie's Taco House at the intersection of Lankershim Boulevard and Moorpark Street.

LAPD investigators said three men inside a black Mercedes-Benz sedan were shot at by what they believe was a group of up to three suspects. Meanwhile, a fourth victim may have been running away when they were struck by gunfire.

Arriving officers found the fourth victim outside the North Hollywood restaurant where he was pronounced dead.

Meanwhile, the driver of the Mercedes took off and drove to the emergency department at Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Burbank where they were triaged.

Two men who were inside the vehicle later died at the hospital. The driver, the shooting's lone survivor, was also shot and faces a long road to recovery.

The suspects remain at large and a description of them was not available.

Those with information about the shooting are asked to contact the LAPD.
