Anthony Michael Alaniz, 35, was shot and killed on July 25, 2018, near West 104th Place and South Figueroa Street in the Vermont Vista neighborhood of Los Angeles. The shooting happened shortly after 7 p.m. following an argument on a street corner; the other person produced a gun and shot Alaniz. He was pronounced dead at the scene at 7:15 p.m. and the gunman fled south on South Figueroa Street in a light-colored SUV.

Detective Nathan Kouri said Alaniz was not a gang member, a detail investigators noted as they sought to establish a motive. The Los Angeles Police Department urged anyone with information to contact investigators or Crime Stoppers; the case remained unsolved and no suspect had been apprehended. Alaniz was buried at All Souls Cemetery in Long Beach, and an obituary in Long Beach remembered his impact on family and friends.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or the light-colored SUV leaving the scene, can you share what you saw with the LAPD or Crime Stoppers?
