Javier Carachure Menchaca, a 19-year-old Latino man, was shot and killed on November 14, 2021, in Compton, California. He and another victim, Juan Antonio Orozco, were sitting in their vehicle near Pine Street and Bullis Road—an area associated with illegal street racing and takeover events—when both were shot multiple times around 1 a.m. Both men were pronounced dead at the scene.

About 300 people were at the street takeover that night, but investigators say no witnesses have come forward. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has offered a $20,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction, and detectives continue to investigate. Family members have made public appeals for help and expressed frustration over persistent street racing and takeover activity in the area.

What information about that night or about people who attended the takeover could help move this investigation forward?
