Moises C. Rodriguez, a 26-year-old Latino, was shot and killed on February 14, 2018, in the 11500 block of Sylvan Street in North Hollywood. The Los Angeles County coroner’s records place the shooting shortly before 6 p.m. Officers arriving after a reported shooting found Rodriguez and a 23-year-old man with gunshot wounds; Rodriguez was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead at 6:40 p.m., while the other victim survived.

According to the investigation details, Rodriguez and two others were eating pizza when a person exited a vehicle, identified himself as a gang member, made a derogatory remark, and opened fire. The shooter fled back to the vehicle, which detectives have been trying to identify; investigators say neither Rodriguez nor the wounded men had known gang affiliations. No arrests have been announced and detectives continue to seek information and identify the vehicle involved.
