Larry David Martinez II, a 32-year-old Latino man, was shot and killed on October 31, 2005, in Paramount, California. He had driven to an auto repair shop at 16675 Paramount Boulevard. As he entered the parking lot, Jesus Ramon Rosales approached his vehicle; the two spoke briefly, Rosales struck Martinez in the head, then pulled out a handgun and shot him. Martinez died from the gunfire.
Court records identify Martinez as a member of East Side Paramount and Rosales as affiliated with rival Compton Varrio T-Flats. Rosales was later linked to other shootings, led police on a high-speed crash-and-flee pursuit on November 10, 2005, and was found and arrested after barricading himself in a garage on November 16, when officers recovered an Intertech Tec-9. Prosecutors charged Rosales in March 2006; after a jury deadlocked on most counts, he pleaded guilty on December 1, 2006, to an amended charge of voluntary manslaughter, admitted personal firearm use and gang enhancements, and was sentenced to 25 years in state prison on February 6, 2007. The court ordered $4,850.34 in restitution for Martinez’s burial expenses.
