19-Year-Old Nicholas Alistair Neaimi-Pour Shot and Killed in Apparent Car-to-Car Shooting in Irvine
A tragic incident occurred on Thursday midday in the city of Irvine, California, when a 19-year-old man from Costa Mesa was fatally shot in what appears to be an uncommon case of car-to-car gunfire.
Shooting Occurs in Broad Daylight in Residential Neighborhood
At around 12:37 p.m., Irvine police officers responded to reports of a shooting at the intersection of Athel Avenue and Sego Street. When officers arrived at the scene, they found a man lying on the ground suffering from multiple gunshot wounds to his upper torso area. Neighborhood residents were rendering aid to the victim when police showed up.
The victim was identified as 19-year-old Nicholas Alistair Neaimi-Pour of Costa Mesa. He was transported to the hospital but later succumbed to his injuries there.
“These types of things typically don't happen in residential neighborhoods, especially in Irvine, in broad daylight,” Sgt. Karie Davies told freelance videographer OC Hawk.
She stated there was no evidence that the shooting stemmed from a road rage incident, but declined to provide further details. On Friday, police said they believe only one of the three people they are searching for fired a gun.

Victim Was Walking in Neighborhood Before Shooting
According to Sgt. Davies, the victim was walking around the neighborhood at the time of the incident and got into the passenger seat of a black Mercedes sedan as it pulled up. After some time passed, a white Honda Accord or Civic arrived, and a passenger in that vehicle got out holding a gun and began firing.
Neaimi-Pour then opened the passenger door of the Mercedes and exited the vehicle, but collapsed in the middle of the street, Davies said. Both vehicles were able to flee the area following the shooting.
Police are uncertain whether the occupants of the two cars had spoken to each other before the shooting took place. They believe the victim was the intended target but are unsure why he and the other three individuals were in the Irvine neighborhood.

Rare Occurrence in Typically Peaceful City
“These types of things typically don't happen in residential neighborhoods, specifically in Irvine, in broad daylight,” Sgt. Davies commented to a news videographer.
Irvine is normally known as a very safe city, so a fatal shooting in a residential area in the middle of the day is highly unusual. Residents were likely shocked that such violence occurred in their typically peaceful community.
Police Still Determining Motive
While the victim appears to have been targeted, police are still working to determine the motive behind the daytime car-to-car shooting.
They have not yet revealed whether the people in the vehicles knew each other or what prompted the gun violence. The relationship between the victim and shooters remains unclear.
Community Members Aid Victim
When officers arrived on scene, residents of the neighborhood were already providing medical assistance to the victim, who was lying in the street.
The willingness of community members to render aid to the injured man even before first responders arrived demonstrates the caring nature of Irvine residents. However, their efforts sadly could not save the young man's life.
This apparently random act of violence has left many shocked and searching for answers. As police continue investigating the circumstances surrounding the tragic killing of 19-year-old Nicholas Alistair Neaimi-Pour, they are urging anyone with information to come forward. The loss of this young life has impacted the close-knit community, but residents are banding together in this difficult time.
