Rafael Escobar Becerril, a 22-year-old Latino man, was shot to death on August 31, 2000, on Ridge Route Road about 3.5 miles north of Lake Hughes Road in Ridge Route, California. The Los Angeles County coroner’s records list gunshot wounds as the cause of death and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department handled the investigation.

There are no reported arrests or named suspects connected to his killing, and the case appears to have remained unsolved with no major developments listed afterward.

If anyone has information about Rafael, his movements that day, or the area on Ridge Route Road in late August 2000, please come forward to assist the investigation.
