Daniel Mariscal was 20 when he was fatally shot on August 18, 2017, in the Adams-Normandie neighborhood of South Los Angeles. He was driving a gray Honda Accord with three other people when they encountered a white sedan. A confrontation between a passenger in Mariscal’s car and the white sedan’s driver ended when the white vehicle sped away; Mariscal’s car pursued. The white sedan made a U-turn, pulled alongside the Honda, and someone inside opened fire, striking Mariscal multiple times. He was pronounced dead at the scene at 7:30 p.m.; the other passengers were unharmed.

LAPD investigators describe the shooting as a targeted attack, though the exact motive is unclear. Appeals for information and a reward for tips leading to an arrest have not yielded a resolution, and detectives continue to seek leads. Mariscal’s family, friends, and the community have held vigils and memorials in his memory.

If anyone witnessed the confrontation or the vehicles involved that evening, can you share what you saw with investigators?
