Ricardo Camberos, 39, known to friends as Richie or Thumper, was killed in a street shooting in the El Sereno neighborhood of Los Angeles in the early hours of March 29, 2025. Friends remembered him for his smile, sense of humor, love of dancing and being the life of the party. He was born and lived in Los Angeles.

Police say the shooting happened about 1:54 a.m. in the 2100 block of East Valley Boulevard near North Soto Street after one or more suspects approached Ricardo’s RV and an argument began. He was found lying in the street with gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene; the Los Angeles County Office of Medical Examiner later identified him. Witnesses reported seeing four men running from the area. No arrests have been announced and the investigation remained open as of April 2025.

If anyone knew Ricardo, saw activity in that block that night, or has information about the four men seen running, please come forward.
