A security guard was beaten to death by a mob of a half-dozen to a dozen young men outside a Hollywood nightclub early Sunday.

The attack occurred about 2 a.m. at Dragonfly Hollywood at 6510 Santa Monica Blvd., near Wilcox Avenue.

“For unknown reasons, a group of seven to 11 male Blacks in their 20s confronted the victim and when the victim lost his footing and fell to the street, the suspects advanced and began kicking and stomping the victim,” LAPD said in a press release. “The suspects fled on foot westbound on Santa Monica Boulevard to southbound Hudson Avenue.”

The security guard was no longer breathing when he was found by paramedics. He was rushed to a hospital, where he pronounced dead from his injuries.

Daniel Sandifer was a father to two young girls.
