Armando Reyes, a 29-year-old resident of Palmdale, California, was killed on June 4, 2017. He was a passenger in a car driven by his girlfriend when they stopped near a vehicle parked on Laurel Avenue. Reyes got out to speak with the occupants, an argument ensued, and someone in the other car pulled a gun and shot him in the torso. He managed to get back into his girlfriend’s car and they drove a short distance before stopping on Julian Lane to call for help; paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene.

Investigators reported that Reyes was a known gang member, but it is unclear whether the shooting was gang-related. Witnesses described at least two Latino suspects who fled in a light-colored sedan. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department opened an investigation and asked anyone with information to contact authorities or Crime Stoppers for anonymous tips.

Does anyone have information about the incident on Laurel Avenue or the light-colored sedan seen leaving the area?
