On the night of February 11, 2024, 24-year-old Kevin Parada was fatally shot near the Martha Escutia Primary Center in Bell, California. Parada, a husband and father who lived nearby, was standing outside his apartment with a friend when a dark red SUV pulled up. A passenger reportedly asked where they were from and then opened fire, striking Parada and narrowly missing his companion. Parada died at the scene.

This killing was one of four linked shootings in southeast Los Angeles County that evening; other victims included a 27-year-old man in the Florence-Firestone area, 14-year-old Javier Pedraza Jr. near the Ellen Ochoa Learning Center in Cudahy, and a homeless man in Huntington Park. Surveillance footage tied a red Honda Pilot to each scene. Two suspects have been arrested: 42-year-old Gary Garcia and 20-year-old Timberland Wayne McKneely, both charged with multiple counts including murder. Authorities say the motive is unclear and describe the incidents as a random murder spree, and investigators are looking into a possible third suspect.

Did anyone in Bell or the surrounding neighborhoods see the red Honda Pilot that night or have other information about the shootings?
