Enrique Beltran, 21

Enrique_beltranEnrique Beltran, 21, a Latino youth, was shot in the head at 10926 Truro Ave. in Lennox and died at 9:07 p.m. Monday, April 23. He was standing with a male friend, also Latino, down the block when another Latino man about 18 to 22 years old got out of a dark-colored Honda-type car and started shooting, sheriff's investigators said. The friend ran and made it to the cover of a parked car; he was shot in the leg, treated at a local hospital and released. Beltran didn't make it, and died at the scene. The suspect fled. Deputies at the Lennox station a couple of blocks away heard the gunfire.  (Update)

Investigators later said the motive of the shooting was opaque. Beltran had no known gang affiliation, and the neighborhood is usually quiet. Locals said the assailant yelled belligerent words and demanded money before shooting. The suspect is a Latino man in his 20s. Anyone with information is asked to call sheriff's homicide investigators at (323) 890-5506 or (323) 890-5510. Enriquebeltranson_2
