Jorge Victoriano Regino, 34, was shot and killed inside a 7-Eleven in Lawndale, Los Angeles County, on July 27, 2025. Deputies were called just after 8 p.m. to the store near Prairie Avenue and Manhattan Beach Boulevard, where Regino was found unresponsive with a gunshot wound to the chest and was pronounced dead at the scene. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner ruled the manner of death homicide and the cause a gunshot wound to the chest.

Investigators say Regino had stopped at the store while coming home from work as a plumber and was buying beverages when another customer entered. Words were exchanged, a fight broke out, and that customer drew a firearm and shot him. Witnesses reported Regino ran toward a back aisle and collapsed while the shooter fled westbound through a nearby alley; two men were seen leaving the store after the shooting. Detectives canvassed for surveillance video and witnesses, and no arrests had been announced as of the following day. Family identified Regino as a father of four and held a vigil at the taped-off storefront.

Does anyone who was near Prairie Avenue and Manhattan Beach Boulevard that evening have information or video that could help investigators?
