Dominic Andrew Mendoza, 20
Dominic Andrew Mendoza, a 20-year-old Latino, was shot and killed Sunday, Feb. 16, in the 13000 block of Bona Vista Lane in La Mirada, according to Los Angeles County coroner's records.
Deputies responded to a call of shots fired about 12:41 a.m. at a two-story home, said Lt. Dave Coleman with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. Deputies saw bullet holes in the front door and on the attached garage of the home. Shell casings were in the street.
The residents of the home were uncooperative, Coleman said.
The incident was later linked to Mendoza, who was dropped off at a hospital in Whittier. Mendoza was discovered on the floor by a passerby in the parking lot of the emergency room area, Coleman said.
A person had driven Mendoza to the hospital, opened the passenger side door, and left him there. Mendoza was pronounced dead at 1:09 a.m., said Ed Winter, a spokesman for the coroner’s office.
