Carlos Alfonso Segovia-Lopez was a 19-year-old Marine killed on September 16, 2016, in Los Angeles. He was on weekend leave from Camp Pendleton and had just left his girlfriend’s house when, around 11:30 p.m., he was shot in the head while sitting in his black Dodge Charger in the 2100 block of West 31st Street in Jefferson Park. He was taken to hospital and died three days later.

Investigators said Segovia-Lopez had no known gang ties and suggested he may have witnessed an attempted vehicle break-in nearby. The investigation resulted in charges against multiple people: Oscar Aguilar and Esau Rios were convicted of first-degree murder and related counts, with the court finding the shooting was committed for the benefit of a criminal street gang; Aguilar was also convicted of being a felon in possession of a firearm. A third person, Ricky Valente, was charged as an accessory after the fact and pleaded no contest, with a plea agreement calling for probation. A $50,000 reward was offered and a vigil was held in his honor.

Segovia-Lopez was remembered as a dedicated Marine who volunteered with groups helping the homeless and animals and who led youth programs.
