Simon Castellanos, a 34-year-old Latino male, was fatally shot on the evening of April 3, 2025, in Los Angeles, California. The incident occurred at the interchange of the 105 and 110 freeways in South Los Angeles. Authorities responded to reports of gunfire around 10 p.m. and discovered the body of Simon Castellanos next to an older model silver Toyota Corolla. The vehicle’s passenger-side windows were shattered, indicating the intensity of the attack.
Paramedics arrived at the scene and pronounced the 34-year-old Latino male dead. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner later confirmed his identity and ruled the manner of death as homicide, citing multiple gunshot wounds as the cause.
Following the shooting, the California Highway Patrol closed the transition road from the 110 freeway to the 105 freeway eastbound to conduct an investigation. Officers searched the freeway for evidence, but as of now, no suspect information has been released. Authorities have urged anyone who may have witnessed unusual activity in the area around the time of the shooting to come forward with information.
Despite ongoing investigations, there have been no reported arrests directly linked to the killing of Simon Castellanos. However, multiple arrests were made in Los Angeles on April 3, 2025, for various offenses, including assault and firearm-related charges. It remains unclear whether any of these arrests are connected to the freeway shooting. Law enforcement continues to seek leads in the case, and the public is encouraged to report any relevant details that may assist in identifying a suspect.
