Raul Avalos-Pantoja, a 31-year-old Latino, was shot and killed on July 20, 2019, in the Green Meadows neighborhood of Los Angeles. According to the medical examiner-coroner, the attack occurred around 10 a.m. while he was inside his home. Two men reportedly entered the backyard looking for him, then went into the house and shot him; he was pronounced dead at the scene at 2:31 p.m.

Detectives describe the motive as unclear. The loss has had a visible impact on the community and the unresolved motive and lack of identified suspects have stalled public progress in the investigation.
