Thoughts? As of this posting date (March 23rd, 2020), Rodriguez is still listed on the LAPD most wanted website, which granted is not the most updated website and has mainly cold case fugitives only, but since it still a functioning website enough for me to reasonably assume that he is probably still wanted as of this update. If that status has changed or changes in the future, anyone is more than welcome to let us know.
Also I found an article which goes into a bit more detail. The victim was 21-year-old Krikor Telian, and the argument happened after a car accident. So it seems the victim in this case was unfortunately a total innocent and while car accidents are rather common in Los Angeles, Telian unfortunately got into one with gang members.
