Juan Manuel Zamora Jr., a 29-year-old Latino, was shot and killed on April 23, 2016, in Wilmington, Los Angeles. Coroner’s records place the shooting at about 8:30 p.m. when Zamora stepped outside his home on Wilmington Boulevard. An individual in a gray hoodie approached him on the sidewalk and fired multiple times. Zamora stumbled back to his front porch, collapsed, and was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead at 9:05 p.m.

The Los Angeles Police Department assigned Detective David Cortez to the case; investigators asked the public for help identifying the shooter and encouraged anonymous tips through Crime Stoppers. There were no immediate arrests or identified suspects, and detectives described a shortage of witnesses and concrete evidence. The investigation remains open and unsolved, and Zamora’s family and friends continue to seek closure.

If anyone saw or heard anything that night on Wilmington Boulevard or has information about the person in the gray hoodie, please come forward.
