Adrian Rian Brice Haskell, an 11-year-old boy from Lomita, California, tragically lost his life on March 29, 2020. According to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner's records, Adrian died from gunshot wounds inflicted during a domestic incident at his home on Hillworth Avenue. The incident also claimed the life of his younger brother, Julian Vincent Haskell, aged 8, and their father, Harold Vincent Bohlier, aged 43.
The coroner's report confirmed that both boys died from gunshot wounds to the head, and their deaths were ruled homicides.
The investigation revealed that the boys' father, Harold Bohlier, was responsible for the shootings. He fatally shot his two sons before turning the gun on himself in what was determined to be a murder-suicide. The motive behind this tragic event was linked to a domestic dispute. At the time of the incident, the boys' mother and her father were present in another part of the property but were unharmed. They discovered the scene after the shots were fired.
Law enforcement officials, including the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, conducted a thorough investigation into the incident. The handgun used in the shooting was recovered at the scene. Despite the investigation, no further arrests were made, as the primary suspect, Harold Bohlier, had taken his own life. The case was closed following the determination of the murder-suicide, and no additional suspects or litigations were pursued.
This heartbreaking event left the community in shock and mourning. The family held a memorial service for Adrian and Julian Haskell, where they were remembered by loved ones and the community. The tragic loss of these young lives serves as a somber reminder of the devastating impact of domestic violence and the importance of seeking help and support in times of crisis.
