Rene Lopez, a 40-year-old Latino, was found dead on November 1, 2016, in the 3500 block of Emery Street in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles. A person who works in the area discovered Lopez unresponsive inside a van and called authorities; paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene. Coroner and police records indicate Lopez had been shot at another location and then driven to the industrial block where he was found.

Detectives from the LAPD Hollenbeck Division have been investigating and trying to identify where Lopez was shot. No arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced, and investigators have asked the public for information, offering anonymity through Crime Stoppers. Few witnesses and the fact that Lopez was transported after being shot have complicated the probe.

Does anyone who worked in or around the 3500 block of Emery Street in late October or early November 2016 have information that could help identify where Lopez was shot or who might have been involved?
