Sergio Ricardo Fuentes III, a 28-year-old Latino, was shot and killed on June 13, 2017, in the Florence neighborhood of Los Angeles. The coroner’s records place the shooting at about 5:30 p.m. while he was standing in the driveway of a home on the 8400 block of South Main Street. A sedan pulled up, an occupant exited and opened fire, then returned to the car and fled eastbound on East 84th Street. Fuentes was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead at 6:07 p.m.

Police said Fuentes was not a documented gang member and that the motive remained unclear. LAPD detectives handled the investigation and asked the public for information, offering anonymity through Crime Stoppers, but no suspects or arrests were reported in the immediate aftermath. Few clear leads emerged in the months following the killing, leaving investigators dependent on community cooperation to piece together what happened.

If anyone witnessed the shooting, saw the sedan or has information that could help identify the shooter, please share what is known with the LAPD or Crime Stoppers.
