Edgar Villacorta, 24, was shot and killed on March 20, 2016, near South Hoover Street and West 41st Place in the Vermont Square neighborhood of Los Angeles. Authorities say the shooting happened around 2:15 p.m. after residents reported hearing gunfire; officers found Villacorta lying in the street and he was taken to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead.

The Los Angeles Police Department’s Criminal Gang Homicide Division led the investigation. Detectives faced difficulty developing the case because few witnesses were willing to speak, and police asked the public to provide information or anonymous tips through Crime Stoppers. As of the last available update, no arrests have been announced and the investigation remains open.

What information about Edgar’s movements that afternoon, or about anyone seen in the area around 2:15 p.m., could help detectives bring answers to his family?
