Steven Oda, 64, an Asian male from Los Angeles, was found in a parking lot on May 27, 2025, where the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner later determined he died from a gunshot wound to the head. Officials identified Steven Oda by name and age and ruled the manner of death as suicide, with formal pronouncement recorded on Tuesday, May 27, 2025.
In the hours and days that followed, public death-record aggregators echoed the coroner’s findings, listing Steven Oda, 64, as having been
lost on May 27, 2025, in Los Angeles, California, and pointing back to the same Medical Examiner–sourced report. Another local death-roll archive likewise recorded Steven Oda, 64, male, with the place of death noted as a parking lot and the manner of death specified as suicide.
Because the death of Steven Oda, 64, male, was officially ruled a suicide, authorities have not announced any suspects, and there have been no arrests related to the case. Listings that track gun-related fatalities and local coroner reports present no indication of a criminal investigation for homicide tied to Steven Oda on that date in Los Angeles.
