Ruben Mendoza, 42, was shot and killed on November 14, 2015, while standing in the alley outside his home on Berendo Avenue in Westmont, Los Angeles. Mendoza was talking with two other men when the conversation turned into a heated argument. Investigators say one man struck Mendoza and a second man produced a gun and fired; Mendoza was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department identified two suspects: Carlos Siordia, 39, who was arrested in Compton two days after the shooting, and David Sufle, 30, who turned himself in a few days later. Both were charged in Los Angeles County Superior Court in Inglewood with murder and faced additional allegations including firearms and gang enhancements. Investigators reported the dispute stemmed from a financial disagreement.

Does anyone in Westmont remember the night on Berendo Avenue or have information about the argument that led to Mendoza’s death?
