Brian Delatorre, 21, was shot and killed in Hollywood, Los Angeles, after an attack at about 11 p.m. on May 18, 2017, in the 1500 block of Wilcox Avenue. Officers found him in an alley next to an apartment building; he had been shot and was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead shortly after midnight on May 19, 2017.

Investigators reported that two suspects forced entry by kicking in the apartment door, shot Delatorre, and that he jumped from a window while trying to escape. Witness descriptions identified the suspects as Latino males, aged about 20 to 30, and one was said to be wearing a Dodgers jacket. Two men matching that description were initially detained in Hollywood but later released.

No arrests were announced immediately after the killing and detectives continued to investigate motive and appeal for witnesses. If anyone has information about what happened that night or knew Brian, please share tips with the investigators.
