Edgar Leonel Canaan, 47, was shot and killed on August 28, 2016, in the Lake View Terrace neighborhood of Los Angeles during a dispute between neighbors over tire-screeching noises. The argument briefly appeared to de-escalate, but Richard Chico Nevarez arrived and opened fire on multiple people at the scene. Canaan and another man, Moises Farias, were shot and later died at the hospital; a third victim, Hector Hernandez, survived but was critically wounded.

Nevarez was arrested by the Los Angeles Police Department’s Metropolitan Division in March 2019 and charged with two counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of Canaan and Farias, plus attempted murder and assault with a semiautomatic firearm for Hernandez’s injuries. The charges included a special-circumstance allegation of multiple murders and allegations of using a handgun and a prior first-degree burglary conviction.

The shooting was described in court documents as senseless and unnecessary; prosecutors said Nevarez was not initially part of the dispute and began firing after arriving. Does anyone have information about Canaan, his life in Lake View Terrace, or the events that night?
