Juan Lara, 22, was one of three men found shot to death in a small utility room at Raymond Street Park in Compton on November 22, 2016. The Los Angeles County coroner identified Lara and 21-year-old Andrew Moreno among the victims; the third victim’s identity was not immediately released. The bodies were discovered before 11 p.m., with bullet casings and personal belongings scattered around the scene. Each victim had been shot in the upper torso, and at least one appeared to have been living in the utility room where the bodies were found.

Investigators described the shooting as stemming from a confrontation between two groups that escalated into gunfire and said it appeared to be gang-related. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department responded after reports of gunshots. No arrests or suspects were identified immediately, and detectives continued to gather evidence and seek information from the community.
