June 10, 2013, 29-year-old Johnny Ray Richards and a friend decided to drive to a video rental store in La Puente. Johnny was looking for a specific movie that only this store had in stock. His friend warned Johnny of the danger of going into ‘gang territory’ but Johnny reassured his friend that he knew some side streets that would avoid any exposure. Little did they know someone passed by them in another car, flipped a U-turn and tracked them one street over. A person in that car went ahead and waited for Johnny and his friend at a stop sign. When Johnny pulled up to the stop, a man opened fire killing Johnny and wounding his friend. People in the neighborhood not only saw what happened but know the shooter.
