Richard Carlos Rodriguez was 17 when he was shot and killed in Wilmington, Los Angeles, on November 20, 2011. The shooting happened about 3 p.m. in the parking lot of an apartment building in the 1000 block of North Ronan Avenue; Rodriguez was pronounced dead at the scene after being shot multiple times. Motive and other immediate details were not available at the time of the initial report.

Two days later, 25-year-old Misty Marie Magallon was arrested after a witness said they saw her running through a nearby alley holding a gun and identified her by a distinctive W tattoo on her neck linked to the Westside Wilmas, a gang both she and Rodriguez were associated with. Magallon was charged with first-degree murder with an allegation of intentional firearm discharge causing death, and at trial the prosecution said she walked up to Rodriguez and shot him more than 20 times; the jury convicted her and she was sentenced on May 13, 2014.

Does anyone remember seeing activity in that parking lot around November 20, 2011, or know more about the people who lived in that building?
