Jose Rafael Raya, 20, was fatally shot while driving in Compton on December 17, 2016. Around 6:45 p.m. he stopped at the intersection of 130th Street and Wilmington Avenue with his girlfriend in the front passenger seat. As he prepared to turn northbound, a white sedan pulled up alongside his driver’s side and someone inside began shooting. Raya was struck in the head, slumped over the steering wheel and was pronounced dead at the scene at 6:57 p.m.; his girlfriend was not injured.

The white sedan made a U-turn and was last seen heading eastbound on 130th Street. Investigators have not obtained a description of the occupants and no arrests or identified suspects have been announced. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Homicide Bureau is asking the public for information and is offering anonymity through Crime Stoppers.

Does anyone who was in that area that evening remember seeing a white sedan or anything unusual on 130th Street near Wilmington Avenue?
