Two brothers died after an apartment-complex altercation in Koreatown on June 1, 2015. Eleazar Lico, 20, was shot and struck with a tire iron; his older brother Aurelio Lico, 24, was shot in the head and died at the scene. The confrontation began earlier when Eleazar was reportedly assaulted by a 39-year-old resident of the 3000 block of West Leeward Avenue. Eleazar returned later with Aurelio to confront that resident, who called for help. A 16-year-old arrived armed and joined the fight.

Authorities say Roberto Menjivar and 16-year-old Jonathan Orozco were arrested and charged with two counts of murder; Orozco was charged as an adult. Investigators found no evidence that the Lico brothers were involved in gang activity, though the suspects were believed to have ties to Mara Salvatrucha. Motive and whether any other people were involved remained under investigation.

If anyone witnessed the events on West Leeward Avenue or has information about those involved, please share what is known.
