Raul Medrano, 54, was identified by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner after being pronounced dead on October 13, 2025; the coroner listed the case as 2025-16109 and community memorial records place his death in Norwalk, California. Just after midnight that Monday, Medrano was wounded outside a PLS Check Cashers and managed to get into a nearby business, bleeding from the upper body while people inside called for help. He was rushed to a hospital, where he underwent surgery but later died.

Detectives say three men approached Medrano as he was returning to his vehicle after a transaction, robbed him and tried to steal the car. A gunshot cut through the confrontation; the three men fled toward Rosecrans Avenue and, as of investigators’ last public appeal, remained at large. Officials asked the public to contact the Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau or submit anonymous tips to Crime Stoppers with any information about the suspects or the shooting.

If anyone was in the area near the 14000 block of Pioneer Boulevard around midnight on October 13 and saw the confrontation or the men fleeing, can you help investigators with what you saw?
