Greg Bruce of the Los Angeles Police Department, who was the incident commander at the scene of the shooting. Bruce said he was not provided with any explanation as to why the man shot his son.<\/p>\n<p>The body of Amir Issa was found outside the home, police said.<\/p>\n<p>The victim was shot once in the abdomen and once in the face, Bruce said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities entered the home and also discovered the victim\u2019s mother, identified by the coroner as Rabihah Issa, 68, on the bathroom floor. Because of the condition of the bloodied body, it appeared she had been dead \u201cfor a while,\u201d Bruce said.<\/p>\n<p>After digging into Amir\u2019s past, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/rocky.issa.5\/posts\/10156763021940145\" target=\"_blank\">a Facebook post shared just 10 days before his death<\/a> shows that Amir felt his parents had a severe and sinister hold over him. He wrote,<\/p>\n<p>Every day I wake up feeling like my sister or brother or mother or father is literally controlling me in my sleep. I have no free<span class=\"skimlinks-unlinked\">will.the<\/span> moment I lose consciousness it feels like they tell people to rape and molest me and make it seem like I enjoy that. I was earning over $100k by age 26 and this has negatively impacted my life made ,me live in pain and become unemployed. If there is a devil or evil spirit, I truly believe it manifests itself in my family. My name is P<span class=\"text_exposed_show\">rince Christ. Amir Issa. Does it make you feel better abiut yourself to call me names and control me? I dont want to be related to any of these people..nor their relatives watching and advocating this inhumane treatment. They have literally robbed my bank account, lied to courts and doctor to try and label me as mentally ill and failed in their attempts to have me falsely imprisoned and evicted. My doctors certified that i have no mental illness and the courts have cleared my good name and I do not have a criminal record. I successfully passed a background check. If there are any good people on this earth, please help free me from this inhumane slavery. I want to open my eyes lord. I want to see Jesus. Please help rid this world of the demons that attack me. I have changed all of my life insurance and work retirement investments to go to the church I was born in, the Seventh day adventist church of glendale. I dont believe one religion is better or more true than another but would like to have a family that attends church regularly and doesnt punish my thoughts or actions if I am a good persob\u2026which I know I am. I am paying it forward to the church..tithing over hundreds of thousands of dollars to them for this life and the next. In Christs name. AMEN.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, in a video posted in\u00a0January 2014, Amir\u00a0is heard talking with his parents about anal sex.
