Jeremy Galvin was 14 when he was shot and killed on December 7, 2021, around 3:30 p.m. in Boyle Heights near First Street Elementary School, at First and Savannah streets. He was a student at Roosevelt High School and was pronounced dead at the scene; the Los Angeles County coroner confirmed his death and the LAPD responded shortly after.

Investigators say an argument occurred between the suspect and Jeremy before the shooting. A juvenile was detained soon after on suspicion of a firearm violation, but that detention was not directly tied to the shooting; police were searching for a second suspect and were canvassing the area, talking to witnesses and reviewing security footage. Crisis counselors were made available at Roosevelt High School and members of the community left flowers at the scene.

The motive remained unclear as investigators continued their work. If anyone knew Jeremy or witnessed the shooting, can you share information with the LAPD?
