Los Angeles – In a shocking series of arrests following a deadly shooting, the former wife of a Los Angeles doctor has been implicated in his murder, along with four others. Dr. Hamid Mirshojae, 61, was killed in an ambush outside his clinic in Woodland Hills, a fatal event that has since unraveled into a complex investigation leading to multiple arrests.
Dr. Mirshojae was fatally attacked as he left his medical practice on Topanga Canyon Boulevard on August 23. His former wife, 53-year-old Ahang Mirshojae, has been arrested on suspicion of murder as the Los Angeles Police Department digs deeper into the circumstances surrounding the killing.
The investigation has pointed to a potentially broader conspiracy involving financial motives. In connection to the doctor’s death, three other suspects—Evan Hardman, 41; Sarallah Jawed, 26; and Ashley Rose Sweeting, 40—have been arrested and charged. Hardman and Jawed are facing charges of murder for financial gain and assault with a deadly weapon. The alleged assault, involving a baseball bat, also targeted Dr. Mirshojae and occurred on May 3, weeks prior to his shooting.
Sweeting, from Reseda, has been charged with being an accessory after the fact. She has already appeared in court pleading not guilty.
Additionally, LAPD officials carried out a raid of a property in Calabasas connected to Ahang Mirshojae. Officers were seen entering and leaving a residence on Newcastle Lane, which further underscored her involvement in the case.
In another linked arrest, Shawn Randolph, 46, from Valley Village, was taken into custody under suspicion of murder. Details regarding Randolph’s specific involvement have yet to be disclosed by authorities.
Both Ahang Mirshojae and Shawn Randolph are currently held without bail as the legal process unfolds and as prosecutors prepare to formally charge them.
This tragic case highlights the shocking turn of events that can unfold within personal relationships and the complex motives that often underlie criminal acts. The local community and the medical fraternity are left to reconcile the dual identity of the victim — a trusted doctor and a man whose personal life may have led to his violent death.
