Jason Velasquez, 46, was shot to death in Lancaster on the night of October 15, 2025. Deputies from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Lancaster Station were called just after 10 p.m. to West Avenue J-2 and Sierra Highway for reports of gunfire. He was found in a parking lot and pronounced dead at the scene while investigators sealed off the block and interviewed witnesses.

Detectives later described the location as an alleged illegal gambling site, suggesting a clandestine gathering was taking place when the shooting occurred. County authorities publicly identified Velasquez by the end of the week. As of the latest reports, no arrests had been announced and no suspect had been publicly named; the Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau is asking anyone with information to come forward.

Does anyone in Lancaster have tips, surveillance footage, or recollections from that block on the night of October 15 that could help investigators?
