Reginald Montanez, 21
Died March 21, 2010 at 7:13 p.m.
Reginald Montanez, a 21-year-old black man, was shot and killed Sunday, March 21, in the 300 block of East 107th Street in Green Meadows, according to Los Angeles County coroner's records.
Montanez was with two friends standing in front of a residence about 5 p.m. when a vehicle approached and the driver fired at the men, said Detective Gerry Pantoja of the LAPD Criminal Gang division.
Montanez suffered a gunshot wound and was taken to Harbor UCLA Medical Center, where he died at 7:13 p.m., said Ed Winter, a spokesman for the coroner's office. His friends were not injured. [An earlier version of this post incorrectly referred to Harvard UCLA Medical Center.]
Det. Pantoja said Montanez had no gang affiliations and he believes the incident was a case of mistaken identity. Authorities do not have any leads on the assailant.
Anyone with information about Montanez's death is asked to call the LAPD Criminal Gang division at (213) 485-4341.

When will the black and latino communities demand the police use all necessary methods to remove known gangsters from their communities?
Think the ACLU wants to help? Think Sharpton and Jackson care? Think the elected representatives of these communities care?
Think again.
Until their is a massive push back from the law abiding people, the gang cancer will continue to grow.

R.I.P Reggie locc u did what u had to do in this world and you were finished so God called you home although it may seem harsh and to soon, u did what God wanted u to, u planted your seed and its growing beautifully, even though your not here physically we know u r watching and protecting your family, something that would have been hard to do while in the flesh due to the haters, so God gave u a better place to do it from........ never forgotten............

R.I.P Gie you were a wonderful person and a wonderful friend with your stuttering self LOL I miss you everyday you cross my mind all the time you make me smile because all of the memories that I have with you are so joyful that it leaves no room for sadness just confusion and pain at times but I know you're having a ball in heaven. To the person that cut your life short they will have to stand before god and no matter how long from now it will happen what goes around comes around.
I LOVE YOU GIE
