Juan Jose Leon Rios was a 22-year-old Latino man who was fatally shot on May 6, 2021, near 228 1/4 E. 29th St. in the Historic South-Central neighborhood of Los Angeles. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner ruled his cause of death as gunshot wounds.

Investigators treated the killing as potentially gang-related and identified several suspects during the inquiry, but the case did not immediately produce arrests. Police reported a shortage of witnesses willing to come forward, and law enforcement said fear of retaliation in the neighborhood complicated the probe. Detectives kept the investigation open and continued pursuing leads in the months after the shooting.
