Iran Moreno-Balvaneda was a 13-year-old boy from Pasadena who was killed on November 20, 2021. He was in his bedroom around 6 p.m. playing video games when a stray bullet entered through his window; several shots had been fired in the area that Saturday evening. First responders took him to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Pasadena police opened an investigation to identify the shooter and say Iran and his family were not believed to be the intended targets. No immediate suspects or clear motive had been identified. The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors authorized a $20,000 reward for information leading to an arrest; the reward was later renewed. The neighborhood has held vigils and left a memorial outside the family’s home.

What information about that November evening might help investigators bring the shooter to justice?
