Raymond Cortez was a 16-year-old Latino student from Paramount, California, who died on December 2, 2007, after being shot in the head two days earlier. The shooting happened on November 30, 2007, as Raymond was leaving Paramount High School near Downey and 2nd Street. Borrayo reportedly exited the car with a gun, confronted Raymond and, after a brief altercation, shot him.

Raymond was taken to Long Beach Memorial Hospital, placed on life support, and taken off life support on December 2, 2007. Witnesses at the school noted the car’s license plate, which led police to arrest the driver and identify Borrayo; a warrant was issued and he was later apprehended. Raymond’s family donated his organs.

What information can anyone who knew Raymond or the school that day add about the confrontation or the car involved?
