Suspect in L.A. Killing Named
Los Angeles police are searching for an alleged gang member in connection with the slaying, apparently racially motivated, of a 42-year-old black man along Plaza Del Amo in Harbor Gateway on Tuesday night.
The suspect was identified Friday as Fredrico “Dreamer” Estrada, 21. Police said they believe Estrada killed Danny Dwayne Warren, who was walking in the 1500 block of Plaza Del Amo with an unnamed male acquaintance Tuesday night when three Latino gang members approached them from behind and fired between five and seven shots. Warren’s friend was uninjured, police added.
The shooter reportedly uttered racial slurs after the killing.
Police said Warren died at a hospital from a single bullet wound to the back.
Estrada, who is known to hang out in Torrance, is “considered armed and dangerous,” said Lt. John Baronowski. Anyone with information is asked to call (310) 548-7603 or (310) 548-7447. Anonymous tips may be left at (310) 548-4181.
