Andrew James Chavez, 18, was shot and killed in Lancaster, California, on September 30, 2017. Chavez and his girlfriend, 19-year-old Clotee Annitinette Reyes, had been at an impromptu birthday gathering at a friend’s house in the 43000 block of 6th Street East. As people were leaving shortly after 2 a.m., an argument erupted and a car pulled up; someone inside opened fire on the departing crowd. Chavez and Reyes were both struck in the chest and pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators say the pair may have been unintended victims caught in indiscriminate gunfire. Witness accounts differ about whether the shooters had been at the party earlier. Search warrants were served at the party house and at two other residences, but no arrests have been announced and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department continues to interview witnesses and follow leads.

Chavez lived in Lancaster; Reyes lived in Palmdale. Does anyone have information about that night or remember seeing a car pull up near 6th Street East around 2 a.m. on September 30, 2017?
