On September 4, 2023, 18-year-old Ashley Guzman and her partner, 21-year-old Carlos Loera, were shot while seated in their parked vehicle in the 1000 block of West 253rd Street in Harbor City, California. A suspect walked up to the car and fired multiple rounds. Loera was pronounced dead at the scene; Guzman was taken to a hospital and later died of her injuries. Their one-year-old son was in a rear-facing child safety seat and suffered injuries from bullet fragments but survived and was released to family.
In January 2024 the Los Angeles Police Department arrested 20-year-old Dion Johnson of Wilmington on charges that include three counts of murder and five counts of attempted murder tied to a series of September 2023 shootings in Harbor City and San Pedro that authorities say are gang-related. The deaths prompted vigils and memorials in Harbor City, and family and friends remember Guzman and Loera as devoted parents trying to provide a better life for their son.
Does anyone have information about that block of West 253rd Street or the events of that night that could help investigators?
