Hector Martin, 31, was fatally shot on November 5, 2017, while visiting a friend at a residence on West 57th Street in the South Park neighborhood of Los Angeles. The Los Angeles County coroner’s records list the cause as a gunshot wound. Reports give no definitive information about the number of assailants or a motive.

The LAPD opened an investigation that has remained unsolved. In April 2019 the department announced a $50,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. Hector’s parents and siblings have made public appeals, and detectives have described the killing as senseless, stressing the need for community cooperation. Few concrete leads have been reported and the case remains open.
