Jossias Lopez, 30, was found dead along the railroad tracks near 82nd Place and Maie Avenue by Animo Pat Brown Charter High School in the unincorporated Firestone Park area on the morning of July 5, 2025. Deputies responded about 10:15 a.m. and pronounced him dead at the scene.

Initial reports suggested a fatal shooting, but the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner later identified Lopez and ruled the manner of death an accident caused by multiple blunt-force traumatic injuries sustained on the railroad tracks. No assailants, arrests, or suspects were reported, and investigators sought general tips as the scene was closed. Family and friends have been left grieving and organized a fundraiser that described a devastating train accident and the difficulty of the aftermath.
