On February 16, 2015, Miguel Angel Orozco, a 32-year-old Las Vegas resident, was shot and killed in his garage in the 6400 block of Gunderson Boulevard near Torrey Pines Drive and Harmon Avenue. The shooting happened around 4:45 a.m. while Orozco was working on his car. A 1999 black Mercedes SUV pulled up and an altercation between Orozco and an acquaintance, 30-year-old Julio Rodriguez, escalated into a shouting match. Rodriguez allegedly produced a handgun, fired as Orozco approached the SUV, and Orozco was struck while attempting to flee; he later died at University Medical Center.

Rodriguez is described as 5 feet 6 inches, 170 pounds, with close-cropped dark hair and brown eyes. The Mercedes is noted for large chrome rims and tinted windows. A passenger who was in the SUV at the time also remained at large. Police have warned Rodriguez should be considered armed and dangerous and asked the public to contact Metro’s homicide section or Crime Stoppers with tips.

Orozco was known in the neighborhood for his interest in cars and as a member of the Desirable Ones Car Club; neighbors described him as friendly and watchful. What information can readers offer about that night, the vehicle, or Rodriguez’s possible whereabouts?
