Man Fatally Shot in La Mirada, Sheriff’s Homicide Detectives Investigating

June 19, 2025

A man was fatally shot early Wednesday morning in La Mirada, prompting an investigation by Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department homicide detectives.

Deputies responded at approximately 6:22 a.m. to reports of gunfire in the 14700 block of Firestone Boulevard. When they arrived, they found a man suffering from at least one gunshot wound.

“The male adult victim was transported to a local hospital where he was later pronounced dead,” the department said in a statement.

Authorities have not released the victim’s name or any information about a possible suspect. The circumstances leading up to the shooting remain unclear, and no motive has been established.

Firestone Boulevard was temporarily closed as investigators processed the scene, with yellow tape cordoning off the area near a row of small businesses and an industrial park.

“It was surreal,” said Jacob Reyes, who works at a nearby tire shop. “We heard a loud pop, then a bunch of sirens. It’s not the kind of thing you expect around here—especially that early in the morning.”

Another nearby worker, who asked not to be named, said the victim appeared to be inside a parked vehicle when the shooting occurred. “It was quick. I just saw deputies rushing in and paramedics trying to do CPR,” he told Los Cerritos Community News.

Sheriff’s investigators canvassed the area for surveillance video and interviewed witnesses throughout the morning.

“This is an active homicide investigation. We are urging anyone with information, no matter how small, to come forward,” said Lt. Daniel Vizcarra of the LASD Homicide Bureau.
