Israel Toledo Martinez, a 28-year-old Latino man, was shot and killed on the evening of April 27, 2020, near 3069 W. 8th St. in the Koreatown neighborhood of Los Angeles. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner ruled the death a homicide after attempts to save him failed.

The Los Angeles Police Department opened an investigation into the shooting and searched for suspects and witnesses. Later developments in the investigation included arrests and criminal charges connected to the case; court proceedings followed and a jury returned a guilty verdict with a prison sentence. A separate wrongful death lawsuit was filed by Martinez’s family against parties including the property owner at the shooting location, alleging inadequate security.
