At about 9:35 p.m. he was in his car attempting a three-point turn when an unidentified assailant approached and began shooting.

He was taken to a nearby hospital and died there at 2:30 p.m. on July 10, 2018.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department opened a homicide investigation and has described the shooting as gang-related.
