Andrew Isaiah Andalon, 22, of La Puente, California, was shot and killed on December 25, 2019, in Azusa. He was visiting acquaintances in a carport outside an apartment complex on East Hollyvale Street at about 4 a.m. when a vehicle drove down the alley in front of the carport and someone inside began shooting. Andalon was struck, tried to seek refuge in an apartment, collapsed and was pronounced dead at 4:24 a.m.; the cause of death was a gunshot wound to the chest.

Investigators say the shooting vehicle fled west down the alley and out of view. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department had no immediate description of the shooter or the car and asked anyone with information to contact the Homicide Bureau or Crime Stoppers. Andalon was a father of two who enjoyed boxing, rap singing and spending time with family; his death has had a profound impact on his relatives and community.

If anyone has information about that Christmas morning shooting or the vehicle seen in the alley, please contact the sheriff’s Homicide Bureau or submit an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers.
