Man Murdered While Standing on the Sidewalk NR12036lp

Los Angeles:  A man was shot and killed while standing on the sidewalk with several of his friends.

On January 21, 2012 at 12:25 a.m., Los Angeles Police Department Rampart officers responded to a shooting call at the 1600 block of West 5th Street. When they arrived, they discovered a male victim, later identified as 21-year-old Manuel Campos, a resident of Los Angeles, dead at the scene with a gunshot wound to his head.

Investigators discovered that the suspect and Campos were arguing after the suspect saw Campos and his friends drinking in front of his building. The suspect fired multiple rounds at Campos and fled the location on foot. The motive appears to be a dispute only and not gang related.

The suspect has been identified as Santos Navor-Flores, a male Hispanic who stands at 5 feet 7 inches and weighs 170 pounds. He also has dark and brown eyes.
