Danny Hernandez, 38, of Los Angeles, arrived at the couple’s North Long Beach home unannounced shortly before 10:30 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 3, according to a news release from the Long Beach Police Department.

Hernandez left the scene after shooting 28-year-old Okasis Koo, Long Beach police said. Upon arrival, officers found Koo with “gunshot wounds to the upper body.”

The Long Beach Fire Department transported Koo to a hospital, where he died from his injuries, according to police.

“At the moment, the motive for the shooting is being investigated,” the release said.

After the fatal shooting, Hernandez picked up his 5-year-old son from school in Los Angeles, police said. He and his ex share custody of the boy.

During the investigation, police learned that Hernandez was at a home in Los Angeles and arrived with the LBPD Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team around 1 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 4, according to police. The man was detained, and the boy was safely rescued.

“He was unharmed and reunited with his family,” police said.

The brother was charged with “one count of accessory to a felony” with bail set at $1 million, while Hernandez was “booked for one count of murder” with bail set at $2 million, police said.

Long Beach is about 25 miles south of downtown Los Angeles.
