Ricardo Torres, 28, was killed on October 29, 2019, in Long Beach while attending a Halloween-themed birthday party at a home in the 2700 block of East 7th Street. The party had about 30 guests when at least one gunman, described as wearing dark clothing with a concealed face, opened fire into the backyard from a rear alley. Torres was one of three people who died; nine other guests, including the birthday celebrant, were wounded.

Investigators reported the shooters fled in a dark-colored vehicle. The Long Beach Police Department offered a $30,000 reward for information that would lead to arrest and conviction. The shooting prompted public mourning and community responses in Long Beach.
