Cardoza was killed after he and a friend went to a parking lot near the 3600 block of South First Street to meet Ibarra and Torres, also 17, for a drug transaction, detectives say. 

During the meeting, authorities said Cardoza was shot while sitting in the front passenger seat of the car he had arrived in.
