Anthony Michael Tafoya Ortiz, 24 and a Los Angeles resident, was shot on August 9, 2019, on the 100 block of Painter Street in Pasadena. Emergency services arrived around 10:50 a.m.; Ortiz was taken to a hospital in grave condition and died of his wounds on August 11, 2019.

Pasadena police said they did not believe the shooting was random and suggested Ortiz may have been targeted. An investigation led to the arrest of two men, Lamarr Marquise McDaniels, 24, and Trevor James Dorman, 19; authorities said the arrests were made in connection with what was believed to be a robbery attempt linked to the fatal shooting.

Community interest in the case was high and police asked anyone with information to come forward. Does anyone in Pasadena remember activity on Painter Street that morning or have information that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
