Jose Hernandez Iribe, 31, was shot and killed on July 12, 2014, in the 1700 block of North Summit Avenue in Pasadena. Police received multiple 911 calls about gunfire around 4:20 p.m. Iribe, who lived nearby, ran toward the shooting to help people who had been wounded and was described by police as a good Samaritan. He was pronounced dead at the scene at 5:25 p.m.

The shooter, identified as 44-year-old John Izeal Smith, began his attack inside a home where he shot 91-year-old Luis Fernando Aguiar. Aguiar’s 59-year-old daughter, Maria Teresa Aguiar, was also fatally wounded as she tried to escape and was found on the sidewalk; Iribe was shot while attempting to assist her. Smith later engaged in a standoff with police, fired at an officer who was not injured, barricaded himself in a home, called police and surrendered after a 20-minute negotiation with SWAT.

Authorities charged Smith with multiple counts related to the killings and shootings. If anyone knew Jose Hernandez Iribe or saw events in the 1700 block of North Summit Avenue on July 12, 2014, please share what you know.
