Eric Rosas, a 30-year-old Latino man, was shot and killed on October 5, 2018, in Historic South-Central Los Angeles. Coroner’s records list multiple gunshot wounds as the cause of death and the shooting was declared fatal at the scene.

The LAPD investigated but faced obstacles: reports say there were no eyewitnesses, limited physical evidence, and community reluctance to come forward. Investigators reportedly identified several potential suspects but were unable to develop evidence to make arrests, and the case later went cold. Eric’s family made public appeals for information and filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the city alleging negligence in addressing neighborhood safety; the litigation did not lead to arrests in the homicide.

If anyone has information about Eric’s killing or remembers anything from that area on October 5, 2018, please come forward.
