Alfredo Delgadillo, 29

Died Dec. 21, 2007 at 11:41 p.m.

Alfredo Delgadillo, 29, a Latino man, was shot once at 3816 Woolwine Drive in City Terrace and died at 11:41 p.m. Friday, Dec. 21.

He was outside when two Latino men, 25 and 32, in a pickup truck drove by, called him over and opened fire. Delgadillo also fired a gun, either just before being shot, or as he was dying. His shot "clipped the lung" of the driver, who managed to make it halfway to the hospital before his passenger, concerned with his erratic driving, took the wheel, said Sheriff's homicide Det. Jonas Shipe. The man remains hospitalized in stable condition.

Both men were booked, but no charges have been filed yet, since it remains unclear who shot first.

There were drugs in the house, and investigators suspect issues related to illegal drug sales and gangs.

The Interstate 10 Freeway was briefly closed due to the investigation of this case, as sheriff's deputies searched for the suspect's gun in the area. They didn't find it.
