Eduardo Trujillo, 33, was found fatally injured in South Los Angeles on July 28, 2022, at about 1:30 a.m. Initial witness accounts said he was lying in the street and was struck by at least two vehicles; the first described as a dark pickup truck and both drivers reportedly did not stop. That first account led investigators to treat the scene as a hit-and-run.

Further examination by the Los Angeles Police Department later indicated Trujillo had sustained a gunshot wound before being struck, shifting the inquiry toward possible homicide. However, an autopsy completed August 2, 2022, reportedly found two holes on his body that were neither gunshot nor stab wounds and the manner of death was reclassified as accidental. Reports differ on key forensic details, and no suspects or motive have been identified. A reward was offered for tips leading to an arrest and conviction.

Does anyone who was in the Towne and East Vernon area that night or who has information about vehicles or people seen near the intersection come forward?
