Heriberto Barba Rodriguez, a 48-year-old Latino man, was shot and killed on the evening of May 18, 2020, near 720 W. Compton Blvd in Compton, California. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner‑Coroner ruled his death a homicide after he succumbed to his injuries at the scene.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department opened an investigation that included canvassing for witnesses, reviewing surveillance footage, and collecting forensic evidence, but the case initially produced no arrests or publicly identified suspects. Investigators later announced a reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction and made public appeals alongside Rodriguez’s family. Detectives reported ongoing efforts despite challenges including limited witness cooperation and difficulties reconstructing the events that led to the shooting.

Is anyone in the Compton area aware of details from that evening or surveillance footage that could help investigators?
