Jose Luis Velasco, 38, was shot and killed in the Green Meadows neighborhood of Los Angeles on April 29, 2017. Coroner records state he was sitting in a silver BMW parked in a driveway around 3 a.m. when an assailant approached and fired at close range. The shooter had earlier targeted another man, Herbert Torres, who was sitting on a stairwell in a nearby apartment complex; the assailant attempted to shoot Torres again but failed.

Both Velasco and Torres were found about 4 a.m., with Velasco pronounced dead at the scene at 4:20 a.m. The attacker’s face was covered during both attacks. The Los Angeles Police Department’s Criminal Gang Homicide Division has been leading the investigation and has sought the public’s help through anonymous tips, but the case remains unsolved.
