Russell Lawrence Ortiz, 27, was shot near his home on Fraser Avenue in East Los Angeles on June 2, 2018 and died the next morning at 1:13 a.m. He had been walking with his 20-year-old brother Keanu Ortiz when a full-sized black SUV pulled up about 1:45 p.m. Witnesses reported yelling before a Latino man driving the SUV shot both brothers. Both were taken to hospital; Keanu died a few hours after Russell at 6:53 a.m.

Autopsies listed gunshot wounds to the chest as the cause of death, with Russell noted to have pulmonary dysfunction and Keanu severe coronary artery disease as contributing conditions. Investigators located the SUV believed used in the attack but have not found the gunman or the weapon. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau has appealed to the public for leads and offered anonymity through Crime Stoppers.

Has anyone in East Los Angeles recalled seeing a full-sized black SUV in the Fraser Avenue area that afternoon or has information that could help?
