Angelica Gabriela Rodriguez, a 46-year-old Latina, was shot and killed on December 3, 2018, in Los Angeles. She was a passenger in a vehicle that had pulled over for mechanical trouble near West 88th Street and South Broadway in the Broadway-Manchester area. While Rodriguez and the driver were checking under the hood, a passerby turned, opened fire, then fled east on West 88th Street. Rodriguez was struck, taken to a hospital, and pronounced dead at 12:52 p.m.

The Los Angeles Police Department opened an investigation and said early on that Rodriguez may not have been the intended target; detectives believed the shooter might have been aiming at others nearby. No arrest had been reported immediately after the shooting and the gunman’s identity remained unknown. The LAPD asked the public for information and offered anonymity through Crime Stoppers.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or has information about who was walking east on West 88th Street that day, please come forward to investigators.
