Ruben Vasquez, a 26-year-old Latino man, was shot and killed on May 3, 2021, in the Mid-City area of Los Angeles near 4209 W. Washington Blvd. He was found seated behind the wheel of his vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene. The shooting occurred in the early morning after a dispute inside a restaurant and bar in a mini-mall spilled into the parking lot and escalated into gunfire.

Investigators describe Vasquez as an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire. The same incident also killed 44-year-old Marlon Carrillo, who had gone to the mini-mall after his son became involved in the initial argument, and a bystander was injured. Three people were arrested in connection with the double homicide: Jose Hernandez, 32, and Jobany Villatoro, 43, were charged with murder; Gerardo Delcampo, 44, was charged as an accessory to murder and with firearms and narcotics counts. The Los Angeles County District Attorney filed the charges and the suspects are awaiting trial.

Did anyone in the Mid-City area see the argument or the shooting that night, or have information that could help investigators?
