Antonio Vasquez was a 17-year-old Latino who was shot and killed on May 23, 2017, in the Florence neighborhood of Los Angeles. The shooting happened around 1 p.m. in the 700 block of East 79th Street. The Los Angeles County coroner’s records list multiple gunshot wounds as the cause of death.

Witnesses reported hearing gunshots and seeing a vehicle speed away from the scene, and the LAPD opened an investigation into the circumstances and motive. Reports say several suspects were identified, arrests were made, and those suspects were charged with murder and related offenses; subsequent court proceedings produced guilty verdicts after the prosecution presented eyewitness testimony and forensic analysis and the defense challenged that evidence.

Antonio was described as well liked with no known gang affiliations or criminal history. Does anyone have memories of Antonio or information about that day in Florence that could add context to what happened?
