Steven Lopez was 22 and a Los Angeles resident when he was shot and killed on March 18, 2018. Around 10 p.m. he was riding his bike near his Mid-City home when he was struck multiple times. His sister cradled him and called 911, but he was pronounced dead at the scene; coroner records list the time of death as 10:14 p.m. The LAPD responded to a shots-fired call and found him on the sidewalk.

Investigators say Steven was likely not the intended target and that detectives believe he may have been mistaken for a gang member amid active gang conflict in the area; reports say he was not involved in gang activity. Surveillance footage reportedly shows at least two suspects fleeing in a getaway car driven by a third person, but authorities have struggled to identify and apprehend those responsible. The LAPD announced a $50,000 reward and Detective John Lamberti has appealed for community help. Steven’s mother, Flavia Hernandez, and sister, Liana Lopez, have also made public pleas for information.

If anyone in Mid-City that night saw the shooting, the getaway vehicle, or has other information, can you share what you know with investigators?
