Jose Alfredo Aragon, 21, was shot and killed on August 8, 2015, in the 11800 block of Wilmington Avenue in Willowbrook, Los Angeles. Coroner records say Aragon and a friend, Andy Chicas, were inside a McDonald’s shortly before 10:30 p.m. and began arguing with two other men. The dispute moved into the parking lot and became physical; one of the men produced a gun and shot both Aragon and Chicas in the chest.

Deputies arrived at 10:35 p.m. and both victims were taken to a local hospital. Aragon, who lived in Compton, was pronounced dead at 10:48 p.m.; Chicas, from Long Beach, also died around the same time. Two men were arrested the next day. A 21-year-old Latino from Gardena was released on August 12 after the district attorney declined to file charges for lack of evidence. Angel Mares, 22, of Lawndale, was charged with two counts of murder and multiple firearm offenses, pleaded not guilty at his August 11 arraignment, and was held without bail pending a preliminary hearing set for August 25.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact the sheriff’s Homicide Bureau.
