Two men, Derek Pouono, 36, and Reginald Watson Sojonas, were found fatally shot inside a vehicle on the northbound shoulder of the 405 Freeway near the Long Beach Boulevard exit on May 28, 2011. Bullet holes were visible in the vehicle; officers reported hearing gunfire when they arrived, though those shots were believed unrelated to the double homicide. The Long Beach Police Department and California Highway Patrol processed the scene, closing northbound and southbound lanes for several hours.

No immediate suspects were identified and authorities have asked the public for information, including anonymous tips via the department’s website. Does anyone have information about movements on that stretch of the 405 near Long Beach Boulevard on May 28, 2011, or about either man’s activities that day?
