David Vincent Verdin was a 27-year-old Latino man who died on May 4, 2022, in Los Angeles. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner recorded the cause of death as a gunshot wound to his right thigh; the death certificate was later attached to court papers filed in Los Angeles Superior Court. The shooting occurred at 517 S. Clarence Street.

Verdin’s death is mentioned in court filings connected to a separate family lawsuit against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Verdin family alleged they were beaten by stadium security after a Dodgers game in October 2019 and claimed negligence, assault, battery, false imprisonment and civil rights violations; David and his brother Rigoberto Verdin Jr. were arrested after that incident but were not charged. The family’s filings describe injuries sustained by relatives and say Dodgers attorneys blamed the family’s behavior for those injuries.

The shooting that killed David Verdin is described as unrelated to the Dodgers lawsuit. What can readers add about David Verdin, the incident at 517 S. Clarence Street, or witnesses who might help clarify what happened?
