Victor Ricardo Solis, 24

 Victor Solis, a 24-year-old Latino, was shot Saturday, May 2, about 1:45 p.m. in the 1600 block of Pepper Avenue in Cypress Park, according to Los Angeles police.

Solis was a passenger in a vehicle, and someone approached the car, officials said.

"Words were exchanged and the suspect produced a handgun and opened fire," said Ed Winter, a spokesman for the coroner's office.

Solis was taken to the hospital where he died Sunday, May 3, according to coroner's records.
