Dizon, 20, was shot and killed November 27, 2007 in Santa Ana in a gang-related shooting, Santa Ana police said, but could not confirm whether Dizon was affiliated with a gang.

Dizon’s family insists he was not a member of any gang and was an innocent victim.

Dizon was shot about 8:30 p.m. in the 2900 block of Bradford Place near West Dyer Road, said Sgt. Bruce Leamer of the Santa Ana Police Department.

Police responded to the area after residents called saying they had heard shots and a vehicle speeding away, said Cmdr. Doug McGeachy of the Santa Ana Police Department.

Police found Dizon lying in the street. He was taken to Western Medical Center-Santa Ana, where he died, McGeachy said
