Daniel Ramirez, a 28-year-old Latino man, was found dead on January 7, 2019, near West 82nd Street and South Grand Avenue in Florence, Los Angeles. An autopsy by the Los Angeles County coroner found multiple gunshot wounds, and investigators classified the death as a homicide.

The LAPD opened a homicide investigation, canvassing the neighborhood, interviewing witnesses and reviewing surveillance from nearby businesses and residences. Detectives identified several persons of interest but made no arrests in the immediate aftermath. Progress was hampered by a lack of immediate leads and by the reluctance of some community members to come forward.

The case remained open and periodically received updates as new information emerged; the LAPD appealed to the public for assistance and offered rewards for information leading to arrest and conviction. Ramirez’s family continues to seek justice and closure.

If anyone knew Daniel, saw activity near West 82nd Street and South Grand Avenue around January 7, 2019, or has information that could help, please share what is known.
