Simon Castellanos, a 34-year-old Latino man, was fatally shot on the evening of April 3, 2025, on the transition from the 110 freeway to the 105 freeway eastbound in South Los Angeles. Authorities found his body around 10 p.m. next to an older model silver Toyota Corolla; the vehicle’s passenger-side windows were shattered. Paramedics pronounced Castellanos dead at the scene and the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner later confirmed his identity and ruled the death a homicide from multiple gunshot wounds.

The California Highway Patrol closed the transition road to conduct an investigation and officers searched the freeway for evidence. No suspect information has been released and there have been no reported arrests linked directly to his killing. Multiple unrelated arrests occurred in Los Angeles that same day, but it is unclear whether they are connected to this shooting.

Anyone who witnessed unusual activity near the 110/105 interchange around 10 p.m. on April 3, 2025, or who has information that could help identify a suspect is asked to come forward.
