Frank Rivera was 29 and living in Cerritos when he was shot in the chest on June 7, 2018, in the 14400 block of Ibex Avenue in Norwalk. After the shooting a civilian drove him to Coast Plaza Hospital; he was later transferred to St. Francis Medical Center in Lynwood, where he died of his injuries.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department identified 38-year-old Jose Ochoa-Lara as the primary suspect and described Rivera and Ochoa-Lara as acquaintances. Detectives concluded the shooting was a targeted attack and traced the incident from the hospital back to the location where Rivera was shot. Investigators say Ochoa-Lara fled to Mexico after the shooting, complicating efforts to apprehend him.

Rivera’s family and the Cerritos community were deeply affected, and the Sheriff’s Department continued to pursue leads and work with international authorities. Does anyone have information about Rivera, the events on Ibex Avenue that night, or Ochoa-Lara’s whereabouts after June 7, 2018?
