Lazaro Orozco, a 26-year-old resident of San Diego, was shot and killed on August 2, 2019, in the City Heights neighborhood near 52nd Street and University Avenue, by the Colina Del Sol Park and golf course. The shooting happened in broad daylight about 2:30 p.m. outside a county health building after an altercation with 20-year-old Freddy Rivera Corbi, who witnesses said pulled out a gun and shot Orozco. Nearby health professionals provided immediate care and Orozco was taken to a hospital, but he later died of his injuries.

Investigators released photos and a video of the suspect fleeing the scene; that material, along with surveillance footage of the confrontation, helped identify and locate Rivera Corbi after he fled to Mexico. He was arrested more than a month later and charged with second-degree murder.
