Jose Luis Estrada, a 54-year-old Latino man, was shot and killed in the early hours of January 27, 2021, near 3630 E. Imperial Highway in Lynwood, California. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner ruled his death a homicide after he was found with multiple gunshot wounds and efforts to save him failed at the scene.

Detectives from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department took over the investigation, canvassing the area for witnesses and surveillance footage and examining Estrada’s personal and professional life for possible motives. Investigators reported few immediate leads and said witness reluctance hindered progress. A reward was offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction, but no arrest had been announced and the case remained open.

If anyone has information about Estrada, the location of the shooting, or nearby surveillance from that morning, please contact investigators.
