There are conflicting reports on the circumstances surrounding the shooting of Juan Carlos Villapudua.
He was at the strip mall on the 2800 block of W. Rialto Ave at 11:30pm and had on him a replica handgun.
A police news release says he made contact with someone in a newer model white car, possibly a Nissan.
