Marisol Aguayo, a 22-year-old Lynwood woman, was killed Nov. 26 during a car-to-car shooting on the 91 Freeway. Detectives are asking for help in identifying her murderer.
COMPTON—Authorities late last week released additional information regarding a Nov. 26 fatal car-to-car freeway shooting that has left a 2-year-old girl without a mother, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Homicide detectives are again asking for the public’s assistance in identifying the gunman who murdered 22-year-old Lynwood resident Marisol Aguayo the night after Thanksgiving.
Aguayo was a passenger riding in a vehicle heading west on the Gardena (91) Freeway at about 8 p.m. that night when someone in another vehicle that pulled alongside the driver’s side of the car between Wilmington Avenue and Avalon Boulevard opened fire, detectives told the Times.
We had previously reported, based on an earlier Times report, that Aguayo was driving. That Times report was based on information the Sheriff’s Department had provided at that time.
The bullets reportedly whizzed by the driver and struck Aguayo, who suffered fatal gunshot wounds, detectives said.
The 22-year-old was pronounced dead at a nearby gas station where the driver of the vehicle she was riding in had stopped for help.
While authorities still lack a motive for the deadly car-to-car shooting, they did say that they have no evidence suggesting that anything unusual had happened prior to the incident, according to the Times.
L.A. County Sheriff’s Department Homicide Detectives A. Ferguson and T. Anderson are hopeful that someone with information regarding the incident or who knows the identity of the gunman will come forward.
Anyone with information regarding the freeway shooting is urged to contact Ferguson or Anderson by calling the Homicide Bureau at 323-890-5500.
