Miguel Angel Medina, 51, was fatally shot on the evening of June 9, 2020, near 4248 Whiteside Street in East Los Angeles. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner‑Coroner recorded his death as a homicide; he died at the scene despite efforts to save him.

Investigators determined the shooting to be targeted. Witnesses reported hearing multiple gunshots and seeing a vehicle speed away from the scene. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department led the investigation, canvassing for witnesses and surveillance footage. Progress was hampered by witness reluctance to cooperate, and the department offered a reward for information leading to arrest and conviction.

Anyone with information about Miguel Medina, the vehicle seen leaving the scene, or surveillance from the area that evening is asked to come forward.
