Pacas Marquez was home with his family shortly before 5 p.m. when someone knocked at his door, said Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Lt. Joe Mendoza.

The person at the door was described as a black male adult, Mendoza said. 

Pacas Marquez went outside and stood on his driveway to talk to the man, “and then gunshots were heard,” Mendoza said.
