Overview
- At a March 2026 news conference, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department released surveillance video showing four suspects in dark clothing near Daniel Ursitti’s Altadena home before the fatal shooting.
- Investigators highlighted a zoomed-in image of a suspect’s sweatshirt with unique cough-syrup graphics that they believe could help identify the group.
- Detectives said the suspects likely fled in a white second‑generation 2015–2020 Chevrolet Colorado pickup and suggested the assailants may have known the victim.
- Authorities reiterated that a possible motive involves Ursitti’s online promotion of psilocybin mushrooms along with money, noting the intruders demanded to “show him the stuff” before shooting him in bed.
- Ursitti’s father publicly appealed for information nearly three years after the killing, with the family also noting their home was destroyed in the 2025 Eaton Fire, and officials urged tips to the LASD Homicide Bureau or Crime Stoppers.
