Raymond Lee Arnold, 31, was shot and killed on July 16, 2016, inside Updeh Cutz barbershop in a strip mall at Crenshaw Boulevard and West El Segundo Boulevard. The confrontation began inside the shop around 4 p.m. with at least two other men; one pulled a gun and fired. The fight moved into the parking lot and more shots were exchanged. Arnold was pronounced dead at the scene at 4:09 p.m. A 29-year-old customer was also struck but survived.

Investigators say more than one shooter was involved, but it is unclear whether there was return fire from inside the barbershop or if both suspects opened fire. The suspects fled in a car. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department reports that witness cooperation has been limited. Arnold, known to some as Mafia Ray, was a father of four. There had been a separate shooting at the same location a week earlier, raising concerns about repeated violence in that area.

Anyone with information about the shooting, the people involved, or the vehicle used to flee is asked to contact the Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau.
