Dereck Martinez, a 33-year-old Latino, was shot and killed on the evening of February 13, 2017, in the Green Meadows neighborhood of Los Angeles. The Los Angeles County coroner’s records place the incident in the 9300 block of Clovis Avenue. Witnesses say a group was gathered in a front yard when an argument broke out; a man left, returned shortly after, and opened fire into the group. Martinez was struck and pronounced dead at the scene at about 10 p.m.

Witnesses described the shooter fleeing in a black Corvette. Raymond Alcala, 34, was identified from that vehicle description and was arrested on suspicion of murder. The Los Angeles County district attorney charged Alcala with one count of murder, one count of possession of a firearm by a felon, and five counts of attempted murder for endangering others who were present. The LAPD Criminal Gang Homicide Division handled the investigation, and the community was asked to provide tips, including anonymous Crime Stoppers leads.
