Lauren Elaine Olguin, 32, was fatally shot on April 12, 2016, in the 500 block of North Virgil Avenue in East Hollywood. The Los Angeles County coroner’s records place the shooting at about 6 a.m., after officers responded to a report of a gunshot victim. Olguin was attending a gathering and playing cards when 39-year-old Philip Policarpio approached her; an argument followed, and Policarpio reportedly beat Olguin before shooting her. Olguin, who was pregnant at the time, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Policarpio fled immediately after the shooting and was described as armed and dangerous. Authorities launched a manhunt, and the FBI added Policarpio to its Ten Most Wanted list in May 2016. He was later apprehended on May 31, 2016, after border agents identified him at the San Ysidro crossing. Does anyone have information about Lauren, the gathering that morning, or what led up to the argument?
