Carlos Regalado, a 27-year-old Latino, was fatally shot on January 30, 2012, near Mauretania Street and Watson Avenue in Wilmington, Los Angeles. According to coroner records, he was walking with two other people when a white, four-door, compact sport utility-type vehicle opened fire in a drive-by shooting late that night. Regalado and 24-year-old Latino Gabriel Castillo were pronounced dead at the scene; the third person was taken to a hospital with gunshot wounds.

The LAPD’s Harbor Division investigated, with Officer Karen Rayner and Sgt. Richard Gabaldon describing the suspects as two young male Hispanics and exploring possible gang connections as a motive. No arrests or suspects had been identified and the case remained unsolved; Crime Stoppers accepted anonymous tips. The families continue to seek justice and closure.
