Ricardo Macias Mendoza, 46, of Lomita, California, was shot and killed on the evening of September 3, 2015, while closing his auto body shop, Guero’s Body Shop & Paint in Harbor City. An unknown assailant approached Mendoza and shot him in the head; his daughter, inside the office, heard the shots and found him on the driveway. Mendoza was taken to County Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, where he died.

Surveillance footage showed a Latino male between 25 and 35 years old, wearing dark clothing and a baseball cap, walking up an alley west of the shop before the shooting and running down the alley afterward. The suspect was believed to have left in a dark-colored Dodge Charger. Detectives from the Los Angeles Police Department released images of the suspect and sought the public’s help, but the motive remained unclear and no immediate arrest was announced.

Anyone with information about Mendoza, the suspect, or the vehicle is asked to contact investigators.
