Juan Francisco Romero Gordillo, 58, of Los Angeles was found dead on November 7, 2018. He was discovered unresponsive in his dark green Toyota Corolla on the Soto Street on-ramp to the 10 Freeway in Boyle Heights, with the engine still running. Romero had been shot through the driver’s side window; his car veered and struck the left shoulder of the freeway. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Romero worked as a shuttle driver for Kaiser Permanente Medical Center and was described as dedicated and punctual. Detectives have not identified a clear motive; the lead investigator suggested the shooting might have been an isolated incident, possibly related to road rage, though Romero was not known to be confrontational. No arrests or named suspects have been announced and the case remains open.

Anyone with information about Romero, his movements that morning, or potential witnesses on the Soto Street on-ramp to the 10 Freeway is asked to come forward.
