Sergio Mares, 42, of Sun Valley, Los Angeles, was shot and killed on December 17, 2018, in the parking lot of the Valley Plaza Recreation Center at Archwood Street and Laurelgrove Avenue in North Hollywood. Coroner’s records list the cause of death as multiple gunshot wounds.

Investigators say the shooters fled in a black sedan that headed north toward Vanowen Street. The LAPD describes the scene as relatively isolated and surrounded by trees; an exercise class in the adjacent gym did not produce witnesses who reported hearing or seeing the shooting. Detectives have sought surveillance footage from the area and continue to ask the public for help. Mares had reportedly been living out of his car at the time, and no motive has been established.

Does anyone have information or surveillance footage from the Archwood and Laurelgrove area on December 17, 2018 that could help identify the vehicle or the two men seen leaving the scene?
