Murder in the 949

Man Shot To Death While Sitting In Parked Lexus

Police say a man in a parked white Lexus was fatally shot at an Irvine shopping center Wednesday. 

A report of shots fired brought Irvine police to the Trabuco Grove shopping center at Jeffrey and Trabuco roads at about 4:40 p.m., Lt. John Hare said. 

There were reports that the victim had been sleeping in his car, and that the passenger side rear window had been blown out. 

Witnesses gave police a “vague” description of a suspect wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and leaving the area by walking north through a nearby alley. 

The man is believed to work in a restaurant in the shopping center, Hare said, but police haven’t confirmed which restaurant, nor his name. 

Orange County Sheriff’s Department bloodhounds were called to the scene, Hare said.
