Luis Valadez, a 67-year-old Latino, was fatally shot Monday, Nov. 12, in the 1200 block of Long Beach Boulevard in Lynwood, according to Los Angeles County coroner's records.

Police responded to a report of an armed robbery at Las Palomas Meat Market, which Valadez owned and operated, and found him injured.
