Nabor Galvez was 24 when he was ambushed and fatally shot in the backyard of his family’s home in Jefferson Park, South Los Angeles, on December 13, 2020. He had been returning from his girlfriend’s house and was followed by a 2014–2019 Mercedes‑Benz CLA that trailed him to the neighborhood, stopped at an intersection, and was captured on video. As he parked and approached the house, two men ran to the back of the property and fired multiple gunshots, leaving him mortally wounded on the pavement near 30th Street and 9th Avenue.

The Los Angeles Police Department’s South Bureau Homicide Division is leading the investigation. Detective Christopher Moreno responded that night and has been working with the family and community to develop leads. The family says the suspects remain at large; they describe Nabor as caring and hardworking, and say his mother relied on him at the family flower shop in downtown Los Angeles. The backyard where the shooting occurred has become the family’s most painful memory.

Anyone with information about the Mercedes‑Benz CLA, the two men seen running to the backyard, or other details that could identify the shooters is asked to contact the LAPD.
