A doctoral student at UC Irvine was one of two men described as lifelong friends who were killed in a drive-by shooting Wednesday night in Los Angeles County, according to relatives. A third man nearby was injured.
Distraught family members who arrived at the scene said one of the men who died was Jose Flores, a physics doctoral student at UCI who had his sights set on a job at NASA.
UCI is “working to confirm” the report and expects to have further comment later, university spokesman Tom Vasich said Thursday.Flores and the other man killed, Alfredo Carrera, grew up together six houses apart on the street where they were shot. Shots were reported just after 7 p.m. in the 1100 block of East 68th Street in the unincorporated Florence-Firestone neighborhood, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
