Fabian Acevedo, 26, was shot and killed on October 15, 2017, in East Los Angeles. Deputies found him in an alley parking lot behind businesses and residences in the 1300 block of South Atlantic Boulevard after a call at 6:36 p.m.; he was transported to a hospital and pronounced dead at 7:13 p.m. He lived with his mother in Montebello and was described as not having gang affiliations and simply minding his own business when the shooting occurred.

Investigators concluded Acevedo was likely the victim of mistaken identity and that the shooters had intended to target a rival gang member. Surveillance footage and a tip led to the arrest of two suspects on November 3, 2017. On November 7, 2017, Sebastian Santana, 25, of East Los Angeles, and David Venegas, 21, of Compton, were charged with murder; Venegas also faced a felon-in-possession charge. Both pleaded not guilty, and later legal proceedings resulted in convictions that were subsequently appealed and reviewed by the Court of Appeal, which affirmed the convictions and rejected the claims raised by the defendants.

Does anyone have information about Fabian’s routines or who might have seen him in that area on October 15, 2017?
