SEAL BEACH (CBSLA) — Lewis “Looce” Reupena was shot and killed
while driving along the northbound 405 Freeway in Seal Beach on
Saturday night.

The 27-year-old was a musician from Orange County who has been
singing and playing the guitar since he was 6 or 7 years old.

Now, loved ones dealing with the tragic loss and hoping
witnesses and police will help track down who was responsible.

“There were tons of his friends who came through here. The
Polynesian culture we take care of everyone regardless of who
your friends are. I can see now more than before see he was a
loving individual,” the victim’s father Jack Reupena said.

Reupena’s father said his son was driving to work when someone
pulled out a gun on the freeway and shot and killed him.

The incident was reported around 6 p.m. Saturday on the
northbound 405 Freeway, just south of the 605 Freeway, the
California Highway Patrol said.

CHP confirmed Reupena’s body was discovered inside a blue sedan
on the freeway with at least one gunshot wound.

Officials said after he was shot, his car slammed into another
vehicle before coming to rest along the center divider. The
driver who was hit was not hurt in the incident.

It is unclear what led up to the incident but the scene caused
near-standstill traffic for several hours.

Investigators said the suspect’s vehicle is a white Mercedes 550
or S550.

Reupena lives behind his father, siblings, a longtime girlfriend
and other loved ones.

CHP is asking anyone with information about the incident to
reach out to authorities.
