Danny Ronald Chea, 25, was shot and killed in Lincoln Heights on October 24, 2016. At about 2:30 p.m. he was driving a black Chevy Blazer north on North Broadway with his girlfriend and her young son when another vehicle pulled alongside near Griffin Avenue and someone inside fired multiple shots. Chea lost control, crashed into a King Taco restaurant, and was pronounced dead at 2:58 p.m.; his girlfriend and the child were not injured.

On November 18, 2016, 23-year-old Andy Brian Acosta was arrested after surveillance footage and witness accounts linked him to a gray SUV believed to be the suspect vehicle. He was charged with one count of murder, two counts of attempted murder, possession of a firearm by a felon, and shooting at an occupied vehicle, and pleaded not guilty on December 7, 2016; court proceedings were set to continue in January 2017.

The LAPD Hollenbeck Division homicide detectives led the investigation and asked for anyone with additional information to come forward. Did anyone in the Lincoln Heights area see the gray SUV or the events near Griffin Avenue that afternoon?
