Heriberto Osorio, a 19-year-old Latino man, was killed in a drive-by shooting on April 20, 2008, in Hollywood, Los Angeles. Osorio and a friend were leaving a quinceañera on North Oxford Avenue in the early morning after an argument had broken out between their group and another partygoers. As they were departing they were shot from a car driven by Jordy Ochoa, later identified as the alleged gunman.

LAPD found both young men with gunshot wounds. Osorio was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead; his friend was hospitalized and later released. Arrests followed: Ochoa, 19, Aaron Smith, 19, and Sharlette Mejia, 21, were booked on suspicion of murder. Bail was set at $2 million for Ochoa and $1 million each for Smith and Mejia. On August 8, 2008, prosecutors dropped the murder charges against Ochoa and Smith; both had spent four months in Los Angeles County jail before their release. Authorities said they were still searching for the actual gunman.

Who has information about the argument that night or the car involved that could help clarify what happened?
