A predawn shooting in Penn Valley Park ended the life of 19-year-old Luis Rodrigo Renteria on July 18, 2025. The attack occurred about 3:15 a.m.; three people were shot and later driven about a mile north to the Crossroads Arts District, where a witness flagged down officers near 19th and Walnut. Officers found Renteria and two other victims; all were taken to hospitals and Luis was pronounced dead on arrival. The other two victims suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

Four people were detained after the shooting as investigators began piecing together the circumstances; no motive had been announced. Renteria was born November 6, 2005, in Santa Ana, California, and had graduated from Olathe West High School. He worked as a finisher for the Walter Morgan construction company and is survived by his parents, Eulalia Diaz Valle and Juan Renteria, and his siblings.
