Lopezdied of multiple gunshot wounds on Aug. 31 during a house party on the 2800block of Caroline Way in Arcadia. He was transported to Huntington MemorialHospital where he was pronounced dead.
Theincident is still under investigation, but Arcadia police said an argumentmight have led to the shooting.
A GoFundMe created for Lopez’s funeral and memorial services says he was “trying to stop a fight that was going on and as he tried to get the victim off the floor he realized the other guys had guns and tried to run away to save his life, as he was running away he was shot with two bullets one entering both legs and the other going through his liver and getting stuck in his lung.”
Accordingto the fundraising page, Lopez leaves behind a 1-year-old.
