Authorities are asking for help locating the suspect and his ex-girlfriend, who are still missing.
A man from Perris was also in the car, but LAPD detectives determined he wasn’t involved in the shooting or alleged kidnapping and released him.
Fletes, 42, was a friend of Downes’ sister and did not know Rayment otherwise, according to LAPD Det. Efren Gutierrez.
“He tried to help,” Gutierrez said of Fletes earlier this week. “He was trying to prevent the kidnapping from occurring, and he was shot in the process. He was trying to do a good thing.”
Rayment has been convicted of a string of narcotics-related crimes and grand theft of a firearm, court records show.
