Guy was out there, working hard, supporting his family. Condolences to friends and family. RIP.
You don’t become the target of a hitman by being a good person.
@@NP-xx8ntHe was probably targeted because he was Asian. Unfortunately, there's been a lot of that going on here lately in the news. It's very sad and a shame.
Jas to be more to the story. I worked for UPS in their 4 the largest warehouse and a lot of unscrupulous individuals work for them. Another job, not UPS,had the driver dealing drugs to another employee that was then dealing to out of the company we worked for. These things don't just happen.
Paying taxes so lazy or for an Invader can get a check. If you keep killing off the working people that are paying taxes your checks going to go down in value
@@NP-xx8ntin commie-fornia anyone is a target due to Democrat failed policies
What’s crazy is that UPS will have a different driver tmrw and life will move on except for his loved ones. Rest in peace BROTHER. I deliver for UPS in Santa Ana. Heavy gang related area. And it happen in Irvine. Wow.
Goes to show you it can happen anywhere. Not just “Santa Ana”
Los angels nothing to play with
😢so true. Sad world.
@@Californiawest862 Irvine is in Orange County about 45 minutes from LA and it’s one of the safest nicest cities to live in.
Apparently he was seeing a married women and the husband found out. Lesson learned.
As a fellow UPS driver I wish all my ups family to be safe out here. Pls!!! Condolences to the family
May God bless you all and keep you safe from all these criminals.
@visionxx5724 I would like to thank you and all your fellow UPS drivers for the essential work you do for us. This is a terrible tragedy to hit your Brotherhood. I am so sorry. Please take care out there and ✨may God bless and protect you all.✨ My prayers and condolences to this young man's family.
That was his lifelong friend
Me to I am a retired UPS/fed ex…. Ands my heart still bleeds brown…love all you men and women in brown
Causality doesn’t care about Wishing
As the daughter of a UPS driver, I feel for the dude's loved ones. I can't imagine waiting for my dad to get home only to be told that he was murdered. Like y'all I'm so sorry that really is terrible and traumatic.
Glad they caught the suspect
Usual suspects 😂😂😂😂
But it does not do the poor UPS person that died any good
@@ncampos613Yep! Those tacos!
@@sardonumspa8113at least Tacos pick your crops

I bet a million dollars a woman is in the mix of this. I can smell it....
Alot of men are either dead or in jail behind a woman-yep
Or dope... UPS is the tip off really
@@AsviniKumar4747 Nah. Too clean.
Or a man? They could be sleeping with the same guy.
Hold men accountable and stop blaming women.
So sorry for the loss . Ups drivers go through a lot to do the job. They have a thankless job. Treat them with the respect they deserve.
They'll be alright, $40/hr driving a truck delivering small packages in air conditioning. And some of them are still republican supporters who want to betray the union.
Everyone goes through a lot at there Job no matter who it is We all have a Thankless Job
I wonder if the suspect was a white suppremist?
The suspect was wearing a medical mask and drives a Honda pick up? I wonder of he was a yt sum rem est
A woman involved.
Right in my backyard, was just thinking this, how vulnerable these UPS drivers are.
Don’t mess w minors, allegedly he did 🤷
@@AC-vu1jsalleged by who? You?
I've been living in the OC for the past 22 years and it has changed... the whole world appears to have gone mad... condolences to his family...
So it's your fault things are this way
The media is making you misleap none of this affects you unless you allow it to
Oh yeah. It's only going to get worse.
I've been here my whole 66 years and except for Santa Ana and Anaheim, Law enforcement, backed by a great D.A in Mr. Spitzer have done a pretty good job keeping the lid on this pressure cooker. Especially in S. county.
The key is keep it expensive to keep out the dark cultures and call the sheriff when you see bad stuff.
I lived in Tustin for over 35 years an moved out of the area around 5 years ago. I occasionally go back to visit old friends and cant believe how down hill the area has gone. Trash in the streets and homeless / druggies behind bushes and at parks and just wondering the streets. Its sad, the area used to be nice
What a coward
Could this be a hate crime? Since the driver was of Asian decent? And the criminal was well…..
It was a hit, da.
Not sending their best
Thats my slant on this story
Walk around and kiss their lover for how long they last till they betray each other cause of the disrespect love dishing at everyone else even themselves. But you see them in passing for how come and go the vibe is if you even met or spoke to those people when you got that time of day
Nah these UPS drivers steal drug packages. Especially in California the shipping hub. ESPECIALLY IN ONTARIO!!
What the hell is wrong with our civilization I don't know if there's any hope left
I don't think there is any hope for a better world, we are going to destroy ourselves, no respect for life, no respect for others, no love in hearts for others, everyone needs to be first, no boundaries, nothing just like that
The Devil is in control. 1John 5:19
The USA has failed the fundamental purpose of a nation. To PROTECT its people
GOD is the GOD of hope . JESUS is the answer. It's the sin of man's heart that has this world in the deep depths of evil .Satan just feeds off our own wicked desires,and tempts us to do evil. It's up to us to choose life or death. Blessings or curses. The blood of JESUS wasn't shed for nothing. REPENTANCE is necessary to live free from Satan,this world,and our wicked flesh/ mindset. This is a result of SIN
Newsomomics
That is so messed up, some of us are waking up everyday trying to make enough money to live and then to get killed while working. Disgusting
It is a sad world when it is dangerous to be a delivery person
Try driving a cab or for Uber and Lyft. Every passenger is a potential threat.
This was personal.
Safe where I live....
Did you even watch the video? It was a hit job, not some random robbery.
Dude you didn't see the video of the woman who was murdered by an old man while delivering a prank delivery??? @diggingmystyle
Just terrible. Heartfelt condolences to the UPS drivers family and loved ones
Last monday I was shot at by a crazy psychopath whilst driving though Dallas.
Thankfully this trucker is in Texas, & was legally allowed to protect myself from getting shot to death, for no reason I can think of.
By the grace of God, & am unscathered!
You got into a shootout on the highway?
@@user-nn4nv2tt8h A crazy dude was road raging, tried to force me to stop in the middle of a 5 lane highway, then started shooting when I refused to stop. It was insane.
I have so many verifiable reasons as to why people must always remain alert whilst out in public, & conceal carry everywhere we go. It is the only reason I am still alive, & typing this message.
Well that, & Christ my Lord & Savior looking out for me!
Did ya gidim?
This is a b.s., trolling post. This didnt happen.
@@jenntyson1 Sure...
It’s incredible how fast they got him
Poor baby may he rest in peace. My sincere condolences to the family. So horrible to see someone lose his life this way. Glad the suspect is caught. 😢
Jealousy and revenge could be a factor here
Coworker ! Trustee at the county jail 😂😂😂😂
Color the biggest factor in crime
Do you need us to spell it out mate? They were shades of yellow @@mugenx3340
Love triangle most likely.
@silentmajority8365 why does color always have to be an issue
OH MY GOSH!!! WHAT?????? What has come of this world. This is SO SO SO SAD.
What’s wrong with society, is the decay of the home. Decay of morals, decency, dignity, respect.
Correct we used to handle things man to man a fist fight and both lived . Now it's guns and death both lived destroyed .
No doubt they knew each other and the suspect was on a revenge mission
Childhood friends.
A mission of being a coward!
RIP UPS Driver. Horrible how things in society is falling apart. Senseless killing.
Ever notice the people coming here for a better life ? It's not Europe , Canada ,Japan or South Korea . It's South and Central America ,Africa and third World Asian countries . We are the dumping ground .
@@rond1475 Can't call it a dumping ground when biden sends them 1st class tickets to fly here.
My utmost sympathy & deepest condolences, to the victim & family…
This was personal. Was the driver involved with the shooter's wife?
Irvine???? One of the most pristine locations in OC... wow...
Crime happens everywhere even if it’s once every 5 years people will act like their city is on fire 😂
@@crateofthebrain951CA as a whole has seen an increase
In Irvine, crime is in the real estate business, but proof is on the streets.
Hit
@@crateofthebrain951 Because of integration
I walk those streets everyday during my breaks. I saw how they had the streets closed today. I pray it’s not the UPS driver that always wave me by as he makes his afternoon pickups. 🙏🙏🙏
Sure is…
Thanks for sharing your memory with us Rip UPS driver and prayers from DuuuuuuvvvvvvvvaaaaaLLLLLLLL county jax fl USA
That's terrible. I always feel sympathy for the delivery drivers out there on the road. They make the world go round and they have to deliver everything each day regardless of the driving conditions.
Prayers for the loved ones..R.I.P...
Such sorrow for the deceased; sympathies for family, friends; sadness for co-workers and witnesses; and than you to good people and LE for capturing the killer. Now we hope for Karma and due diligence from the judicial process to seek punishment. peace
Most of what men do goes unnoticed & is unappreciated. Unfortunately it takes a death to realize this. As a former ups employee I send my condolences to his friends & family.
What a coward.
OMG. What in the world is happening ?
If you listened to the report, the police said it appears to have been a targeted hit. That’s what in the world happened.
Cartel organized gang crimes related, it’s more random senseless act of violence
@davinxi5926 you can't spread fear over a city I control XIX runs it
You’re getting a reflection of what you’re paying for in Gaza over here
Welcome to the CCP formally knows as the USA
The victim was Asian and the suspect appears to be Asian ... a love triangle?
More like gambling debt or unpaid loan? It's usually about money or women is my guess.
Lovers ?
Yellow on yellow crime
This is probably over a woman this is personal
@juve3030 Chinese, vietnamese, chuck E cheese
Three lessons learned from this.
1: Don't piss off the wrong person
2: Don't live in California
3: Carry a firearm at ALL times
Yawn, as if he had a chance on a barrage sneak attack of bullets. Use your brain. And EVERYONE and their mother starts drama in the usa. Everyone has this pathetic "im untouchable" mentality.
This country makes me sick. So many evil whacks walking about. My prayers out to the driver, his family, and friends. Senseless.
There was a reason. It’s not random unless it was a hate crime but doubt it. Drugs most likely caused it.
I was just thinking the same thing. I'm pretty sick of all of this.
Prayers? There is no God. There have been thousands of Gods invented by humans. The universe is 13 billion years old.
You should visit Peru, Guatemala, or Mexico! You will see the most senseless killings daily. I hate what happened but the USA is fairly tame compared to other places.
The state of California makes me sick.
My deepest condolences to the ups Driver's 🙏 family
How absolutely horrendous! 😱😭🙏
Someone got Fed Ups.
On the last days lawlessness shall abound
Yes… so it will get worse
Man this is so scary 😱😳😳😳😳can’t even imagine you going work and don’t even come back home man
As real as it gets
Probably drugs. This wasn't random.
Prayers go out to the UPS drivers family and friends.
God bless 🙌 🙏

Religion: The greatest hoax of all time. Sheeple fall in line.
Some sort of personal beef that went too far.🙏🙏
More than likely, this was probably a three way situation. In the vast majority of cases, people don’t randomly go around shooting people for no apparent reason.
You haven't watched enough news around the countryside if you say random murders don't happen. In this case, I think the driver knew the shooter. It either involved drugs or a woman.
@@rkgsd I did NOT say that random shooting does NOT happen. I said USUALLY, which is the operative word. Now, was my reply succinct enough for you???🤔🤔
Yes they do
Come to Long Beach we had a 22 retired year old veteran killed cutting his lawn for no reason
Definitely seems like a hit.
@@rkgsd”watch enough news” that says everything about you.
R.I.P. TO THAT U.P.S. DRIVER. CONDOLENCES TO HIS FAMILY 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
UPS driver was obviously involved in something else besides delivering packages
Rest in Peace 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Prayers for the drivers family
Very unfortunate & tragic..ny sincere condolences to all affected.
So sad 😞 😢RIP. As a family of of UPSer and USPS workers this is always something scary to hear. Everyone be safe and vigil through out your days. Much love and condolences to the family.
The ups driver was targeted by this individual. The driver just happened to be in Irvine at the time ,what does that have to do with Irvine getting bad ? I will tell you, nothing. Rip to the driver .
Naahh...Drivers should stop delivering to places with a high margin of a certain demographic
@johnnybronco9118 Irvine is an expensive area. Do you even live near LA?
@@diggingmystyle I'm not saying for this particular incident I'm talking about in general. I hated delivering to certain areas...
This was a targeted attack it wasn’t a random shooting. It’s completely different than other crimes where they’re robbed of their packages.
exactly, the dude did something.......either a chick, bad business deal or some kind of drug deal/cartel thing.....he just happen to be in that city....this was planned
Just heartbreaking... Condolences to family and may the driver rest in peace.
The shooter was a childhood friend, and is an ex UPS driver.
If any of you delivery drivers are reading this I love y'all and I watch out for all of y'all I conceal carry and I keep an eye on you guys when I see you in town or in my neighborhood because I know some of y'all can't carry some of you don't carry I get it I know you got your reasons and I'm always ready to help, same goes for you truckers I keep an eye on you guys while keeping out of your way.
Crime doesn't pay in OC
irvine is dangerous
Actually hit men make pretty good money anywhere in the states and I think they would even make more in OC
neither does diversity
I don't think this was crime-related.
Crime pays great in OC. Vote better and this will change
This country has become an 'Open Air Asylum".
Nope! Only in liberal states and cities!😂
blame joe and the rest of the demonrat party...
The suspect also appears to be asian like the victim was said to be...probly asian gang related...
he probly "dropped off a package" to the suspect's wife...
@@zebfox011By all means,please explain why random shootings
also frequently occur in conservative & republican led states then...
So sad. What a low life person the suspect is.
Whose blood was found on the shooter's shirt? If the shooter shot the UPS driver from inside his vehicle, where did the blood come from?
Sounds personal, deliberate. Details to follow
Chaos and lawlessness
Because of who you voted for
all on the demonrat party .... remember that when you vote
@@yungjunkie666 Homicides are still up 23+% in red states. Everyone is dealing with it...
My condolences to UPS worker family.
Heartbreaking. UPS is great service to the community. This should have never happened. RIP. Please take care everyone.
That is so saddening to hear from a UPS Driver.😔😔💔💔 And that suspicious driver who murdered him should deserve prison time for this criminal damage he commit.;(
Thank you captain obvious
46yo Rhean Jalipa Fontanoza has been arrested and charged with the murder of Expedito Cuesta De Leon. Apparently they were life long childhood friends and coworkers. Fontanoza had been on disability leave and was scheduled to return to work June 1st but also had been stalking DeLeon. He asked other UPS drivers and accessed a on-site computer to locate where DeLeon was on his route. He drove up and shot him 14 times. He still has not said why.
Why is everyone shooting people trying to make. A living. This is a random senseless violence
What makes you know it’s random? If you listened to the report, it said the police suspect it’s a targeted hit, meaning the suspect knew the driver. That is, if you bothered to listen to the report.
@@JSMaruca yes cartel and organized street gangs who watch these trucks with boxes of valuables …. Also what makes you think you know the exact details of the case 😅
@@davinxi5926I’m assuming the police know the details, and they said it appears to be a targeted hit. That’s what was reported, if you actually listened to the report.
@@davinxi5926who you voted for totally isn't the reason totally
@@davinxi5926they utilize them to do actual dope drop offs.. go to any bad neighborhood and see the UPS,FEDEX, AMAZON trucks constantly there.. this is a Asian drug ring I bet
So sorry for that person .my prayers for the person family
My Condolences go out to the man's family for their loss. 🙏
Rapid gun fire WTF ….. smh
They said it appears to be a targeted shooting. The suspect knew the driver somehow. So, there is a lot more to this story than is yet known. But it’s not just some random killing like so many people commenting seem to suggest.
..no guns, no shootings
Something is going SO WRONG IN CALIFORNIA!
I work for USPS but this is real sad to see. This man was just doing his job and was taken from his family, what a sad world we live in
Was it a hit job?
Personal grudge from what I heard
Sounds like it ..geez
Yea he had asked for a raise days before …
Who would target a ups driver?!
Possibly another UPS driver. UPS facilities are like high school. Everybody talking about each other all the time.
@@witcher71 seems like alot of workplaces nowadays but ya the bigger the company the worse. Adult children.
Could possibly be a very jealous husband. It's best to stay away from married ladies.
that's so heartbreaking my condolences to his family , I see a lot of angry drivers on the roads cussing & honking at cars no more patience in some people
First thing I thought was, did the cops end the victim again?
Damn, and going to prison for this? What a way to ruin your life.
Man this is so scary
Been noticing there have been multiple attacks on UPS drivers lately.
Prayers 🙏 Going Out To The Family ❤️.........
RIP Sir! Much respect to a hard working American and his beautiful family, prayers for all.
I guess banning "assult rifle" (made up term), safety pistol roster, and 10 day waiting period did not stop someone who simply wants to do bad things.
Sounds like he was shot by an Uzi. No amount of gun laws can prevent those weapons because they are strictly black market weapons.
Exactly!
The biggest source of guns in America are law biding good guys with guns.
Breaking news, criminals break laws.
@@Ronniejamesleo Firstly, what I'm about to say isn't saying that gun laws 'would' work, but I am just replying to what you said directly..
The reason gun laws have helped stop weapons like that in some other countries, is that if there are 'no guns allowed' (just an example).. then it's a lot easier to focus on stopping the ones that do come in... if guns are everywhere it's more difficult.
Driver was delivering more than packages to that mans wife
Truth.
All American corporations, including UPS ,need to allow their employees their right to self-protection. To deny them their right just because they are on the clock should be a legal and financial and even criminal liability for the corporation. Corporations should not be allowed to deny people their right to protect themselves!!
Sad. My condolences and Prayers for the family 🙏
Even Irvine is getting bad , what’s happening in this world
lol irvine isnt getting bad, touch some grass
That’s how fkd up California is…..Irvine is the canary in the tunnel.
This is just a very rare isolated incident. I'm out in Irvine often trust me it's sunshines and rainbows out there.

Very sad. There use to be a UPS driver that sat across the road from me in a parking lot eating his lunch. I just couldn't imagine that happening.
Life in prison.

I was done with crazy California long ago. I left in 1996.
