A man was fatally shot at the Glendale-based Forest Lawn cemetery about noon Tuesday, authorities said.
Jason Grey, 29, was visiting the cemetery when the shooting occurred, Los Angeles Police Department Det. Pjai Morris said. It was unclear whether Grey was visiting a family member's grave. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
"It has all the signs and makings of a gang-related homicide," said Morris, noting that Grey was shot multiple times in the upper and lower body.
The suspect fled the scene, Morris said.
The shooting took place on the Los Angeles side of the 300-acre site, and the LAPD's Northeast Division is investigating.
It was the first reported homicide of the new year in Los Angeles, Morris noted.
I took the two above pictures on Christmas Eve this year.
This cemetery is within walking distance from my house which is creepy and cool…now it’s a wee more on the creepy side.
A gang shooting in a cemetery…what will people think of next?
I just don't get it...any of it.

Watch the documentary series Gangland on the History channel. It's chilling.
When I was in NOLA a couple days after Christmas, a body showed up on the Mississippi River levee only hours after I passed there with my family. Talk about creepy!
