Nephi Arrequin was 21 when he died on May 7, 2015, in Cerritos, Los Angeles County. Deputies investigate reports of a suspicious couple knocking on doors and encountered Arrequin in a vehicle. Deputies say Arrequin tried to run over one of them, and a deputy then opened fire. Arrequin was shot, lost control of the car, crashed into an electrical box, brought down a light pole and sheared a fire hydrant, and was pronounced dead at the scene.

The shooting prompted community outrage and calls for transparency. Family members and activists held marches and vigils, and Arrequin’s mother, Carla Wade, described him as loving, caring and respectful. The family said his girlfriend was five months pregnant at the time. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Homicide Bureau collected evidence and the family urged release of all materials as the circumstances and use of force remained contested.

Did anyone in Cerritos witness the encounter or have information about what deputies found that night?
