Morales was transported to a hospital in critical condition where he was pronounced dead.

City News Service reports that the grandfather did not suffer any injuries during the attack but was robbed of his wallet and jewelry. Police told L.A. Now that the grandfather had just arrived at the residence when the trio approached him.

The suspects are described as three Hispanic males, ages 15 to 20-years-old. The robbers' vehicle is a "white or light-colored, possibly a Mitsubishi Montero, but definitely a midsize SUV, with a red reflector across the rear, and a punched-out rear window," North Hollywood Division LAPD Lt. Alan Hamilton told North Hollywood-Toluca Lake Patch.
