Luis Fernando Fernandez-Lima, a 22-year-old Latino, was fatally shot on September 6, 2016, in the 600 block of South La Fayette Park Place in the Westlake area of Los Angeles. The shooting happened shortly before 5 p.m. after a confrontation in a park; the coroner’s records show he was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead at 5:31 p.m.

Police say the confrontation began with another individual who pulled out a gun and shot Fernandez-Lima. Detectives believed the dispute was tied to gang-related issues, though investigators did not find substantial evidence that Fernandez-Lima himself was affiliated with the gang allegedly involved. The suspect was identified as 36-year-old Jose Antonio Garcia, who was charged on September 13, 2016, with murder and possession of a firearm by a felon and pleaded not guilty on September 28, 2016.

Anyone who knew Fernandez-Lima, saw the events at South La Fayette Park Place that afternoon, or has information about the confrontation is asked to contact LAPD West Bureau detectives or submit an anonymous tip through Crime Stoppers.
