    • April 3, 2023

    Detectives believe the driver killed last week on Rosecrans Avenue in La Mirada was shot by a man in another car, a lieutenant said.

    The coroner’s office identified the victim as Nestor Tlahuel Mendez, 30.

    “It appears to be a random shooting,” sheriff’s Lt. Mike Gomez said.

    The victim was driving when another car apparently pulled up near him and the suspect opened fire, Gomez said. A passenger wasn’t hit.

    The shooting was reported at 9:16 p.m. on Wednesday, March 29, in the 13900 block of Rosecrans. Mendez was struck int the torso, according to the coroner’s office.

    The Sheriff’s Department asked that anyone with information about the shooting to call deputies at 323-890-5500. Anonymous tipsters can contact Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477 or at lacrimestoppers.org.
