Jose Luis Acevedo-Jaimes, a 23-year-old Latino, was shot and killed in San Pedro, Los Angeles, on February 26, 2020. Around 1:30 a.m. he was walking east on Sepulveda Street toward a liquor store when an unknown assailant approached, shot him, and fled. Neighbors reported hearing the gunshots and called police. Acevedo-Jaimes was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead at 2:20 a.m.; the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner listed the cause of death as a gunshot wound.

Harbor Area homicide detectives with the Los Angeles Police Department are investigating and have asked the public for help identifying the shooter or shooters. The limited witness information and lack of conclusive evidence have made the investigation difficult.
