On the evening of March 30, 2025, 30-year-old Hispanic male Aaryn Vincent Reyes, a resident of Westminster, California, was fatally shot behind Fryer’s Auto Spa located in the 14000 block of Goldenwest Street. At approximately 7:45 p.m., Westminster Police officers responded to reports of gunfire and discovered Aaryn Vincent Reyes suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Emergency personnel from the Orange County Fire Authority provided immediate medical assistance and transported him to a nearby hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries.
The initial investigation identified the suspect as a Latino male in his late 20s, bald, wearing a white T-shirt and black jeans, who fled the scene in an older model dark-colored sedan. Aaryn Vincent Reyes was accompanied by a friend at the time of the shooting; the friend managed to escape and alerted patrons at the nearby C’Est Si Bon bar about the incident.
Over the following eight days, detectives from the Westminster Police Department diligently pursued leads, culminating in the arrest of three individuals on April 7, 2025. Kayden Creazzo, a 19-year-old male from Midway City, was apprehended in Garden Grove. Servando Mora, a 25-year-old male also from Midway City, was arrested in Westminster. A 16-year-old male juvenile was taken into custody in Huntington Beach and subsequently booked into Orange County Juvenile Hall. All three suspects were charged with murder, conspiracy, and promoting or assisting a criminal street gang.
The homicide is believed to be gang-related, though the specific motive remains under investigation. Authorities continue to seek additional information and encourage anyone with knowledge of the incident to contact Detective S. Gradilla at 548-3778 or the Westminster Police Watch Commander at 548-3767.
In the aftermath of the tragedy, Aaryn Vincent Reyes's family described him as "a great kid had some faults, but would never hurt anyone." They organized a fundraiser to assist with funeral expenses and held a community event on April 5, 2025, to honor his memory and seek justice for his untimely death.
