‘I’m going to die’: After frantic 911 calls, LAPD initially missed victims killed inside their homes
Los Angeles Times ^ | May 2, 2025 3 AM | Richard Winton

Over the weekend, Menashe Hidra’s body was found inside his fifth-floor Valley Village apartment after an assailant broke into a neighboring unit, jumped from the balcony to his and attacked. The assailant appeared to leave bloody handprints on an outside wall during their escape.

That same day, Aleksandre Modebadze was found beaten to death inside his Woodland Hills home after a woman called 911 to report an attack.

According to law enforcement sources not authorized to speak about the ongoing investigations, both slayings in the San Fernando Valley have a troubling similarity: Los Angeles police officers responded to the scenes after 911 calls and found nothing, only to return later to find the dead victims.

The cases are not connected, and suspects have been arrested in Modebadze‘s slaying.

LAPD officials say they have started an investigation that will include the officers’ response to calls for help.

“We can confirm that both cases are being thoroughly reviewed and investigated, including officer responses and timelines,” a department spokesperson told The Times. Citing the investigations, the department declined to answer detailed questions.

Hidra’s body was found inside his top-floor apartment at the Ashton Sherman Village complex about 2:30 p.m. Saturday by Van Nuys division officers doing a welfare check after a friend became concerned.

Inside the apartment, officers found him unresponsive, and Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene. He had a puncture wound to the head, and there was blood next to him on the floor, according to sources familiar with the police report.

Three days before Hidra’s body was found, neighbors called authorities and reported hearing screaming coming from his apartment. The neighbors reportedly heard a fight and then a man’s voice saying, “I am going to die. I am going to die,” according...

Both Israelis... and cops say the motive appeared to be murder, staged to look like a robbery.

Tragic that they were apparently unarmed.

And the neighbor didn't dial 911?   I hope they live with that constantly on their minds.

Three Georgian nationals arrested. Likely organized crime. “Georgian Mafia”. Problem in Israel too.

Here's the dirty little secret about cops in SoCal: They only protect each other, the people who write their checks, and the rich and famous.

The only way to get them to come is to call 911 and tell them a cop is being killed on your front lawn.

LAPD later announced the arrest of three suspects in Modebadze’s murder, all Georgian nationals, with the help of the FBI Fugitive Task Force: Paata Kochyashvili, 38, Zaza Otarashvili, 46, and Besiki Khutsishvili, 52. They have each been charged with murder and are being held on a $2 million bail.

The Devils came down from Georgia ?

The suspect from the other murder looks like a Hispanic , probably a murderer for hire , could it be a MS13 ? If not MS13 ,some other illegal for hire ?

Fwiw, from this source,JTA.org

Menashe Hidra’s body in his fifth-floor Valley Village apartment. He had a puncture wound to the head. Hidra, a businessman known as Menny, has been identified as the brother of the warden of Israel’s Nitzan Prison, Moshe Hidra, according to the Jewish Journal.

People seem to forget, or not realize, that the police are NOT employed to protect them...

Police, everywhere, have ONLY the responsibility to do the paperwork, count bodies, and stuff their face with donuts at a crime scene...

Their best hope for promotion is to bust into the wrong apartment at 3 A.M. and shoot both the old lady in her wheelchair and her vicious French poodle...

The Georgians ? Probably the same as the murderous Hispanic chap.

Though they travel in different circles, they could be fellow travelers, as in illegals.
