Adolfo Francisco, 35, was shot while walking north on South Burlington Avenue near West 5th Street in the Westlake area of Los Angeles on July 25, 2016, at about 10 p.m. Coroner’s records say the shot came from across the street. Francisco was taken to a hospital and died of his injuries on July 27, 2016. The assailant or assailants fled in an unknown direction and the motive is unclear; Francisco was not known to be affiliated with any gang.

Investigators later arrested Juan Hernandez and charged him with Francisco’s murder, alleging gang-related involvement and identifying Hernandez as a member of the Rockwood gang while Francisco was identified as a member of the rival 18th Street gang. At trial Hernandez was acquitted of the charges relating to Francisco’s death. The investigation into who shot Francisco remains open and authorities continue to seek information.

Did anyone in the Westlake area that night see something that could help the investigation?
