On June 1, 2024, brothers Ricardo Rios, 19, and Sergio Rios, 33, were sitting in a parked car near their home in the Exposition Park area of Los Angeles when both were fatally shot. The attack occurred around 2 p.m. near Budlong Avenue and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. Sergio died at the scene; Ricardo later died at a hospital.

Authorities arrested 33-year-old Marcos Navarro and charged him with two counts of murder and an allegation of personally using a firearm during the commission of the crime. He is being held on $5 million bail and was scheduled for arraignment on July 3, 2024. Investigators have said there appears to be no connection between Navarro and the Rios brothers and that the motive remains unknown.

Family described the brothers as inseparable; they were reportedly out getting food for the family before the shooting. Sergio’s wife, Mabel Lopez, said he was a devoted father to their 2-year-old twins. A GoFundMe has been set up to support Mabel and the children. If anyone witnessed the shooting or knew the brothers, can you share information that might help fill gaps about what happened that afternoon?
