Salvador Noriega, a 34-year-old Latino, was shot on October 6, 2016 while riding his bicycle around 1:15 a.m. near East 77th Street and South Central Avenue in the Florence neighborhood of South Los Angeles. He was struck in the back and leg, taken to a nearby hospital, and died of his injuries two days later on October 8, 2016.

Investigators treat the shooting as gang-related and note Noriega was a member of a local gang. Two LAPD officers on patrol observed a dark-colored sedan on South Central Avenue, followed it, and during a 10 to 15-minute pursuit heard shots fired from the vehicle. The car was later found abandoned on East 74th Street near Wadsworth Avenue with both front doors open, and officers saw two men running and chased them. Two 22-year-old men were arrested on suspicion of murder but the Los Angeles County district attorney declined to file charges, citing insufficient evidence. The case remains open and investigators are still gathering information.

Does anyone have information about Salvador Noriega or the events near East 77th Street and South Central Avenue that night?
