Police on Monday said a man suspected of killing a valet parking attendant in Koreatown may be in the San Diego area, possibly on his way to Mexico. Helio Azevedo, 26, who is wanted for the slaying of Guillermo Medina, “should be considered armed and dangerous,” said Los Angeles Police Detective Dan Andrews. Medina, 46, was shot in the chest as he tried to grab a man believed to be Azevedo, who was stealing a customer’s car from the parking lot of the Woo Lae Oak restaurant at 623 S. Western Ave. about 5:15 p.m. Sunday. Medina was pronounced dead at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center about two hours later. The suspect’s car was found abandoned a few blocks away.
