Lawrence Lorenzo Lopez Sr., a 54-year-old Stockton resident, was shot and killed on September 27, 2022. He was found fatally shot at about 1:53 a.m. and is described as a musician and a father of six.

Lopez’s death was one of several early-morning killings in Stockton in which male victims, aged from 21 to 54, were attacked in dark, isolated locations while alone. Investigators later linked his shooting to a suspected serial offender; ballistic evidence connected the incidents and police said the attacks appeared premeditated and random.

The killings prompted heightened patrols and community concern in Stockton and an extensive investigation involving crime-scene analysis, witness statements, and surveillance footage. Lopez’s family has spoken of their grief and loss.

Did anyone in Stockton know Lopez, his music, or where he spent his evenings around late September 2022?
