David Cortez, 25, was shot and killed on November 9, 2016, while riding a bicycle in the alley behind his apartment complex on the 5600 block of Quinn Street in Bell Gardens, California. Witnesses reported two men entering the alley around 9:25 p.m., gunshots being heard, and the men fleeing onto Jaboneria Street. Officers found Cortez by his bicycle; he was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead at 10:05 p.m. The cause of death was multiple gunshot wounds.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Homicide Bureau led the investigation. Witnesses were unable to provide detailed descriptions of the attackers, and no arrests have been announced. Authorities offered anonymity through Crime Stoppers and asked the public for any information that could help identify the suspects.

Does anyone have information about movements in the area of Quinn Street and Jaboneria Street on the night of November 9, 2016, or recollections that might help investigators?
