Larry Galvan, 27, was shot and killed in broad daylight on February 22, 2016, on South La Verne Avenue in East Los Angeles. He and his brother Dennis were walking home after buying a mop for their mother when an unknown assailant in a sport utility vehicle opened fire. Larry was struck multiple times in the chest and later died at a hospital; Dennis suffered a gunshot wound to his foot and survived.

Family members, including brother Isaac Galvan, a Compton City Councilman, said Larry and Dennis were not involved in gang activity and suggested the attack may have been mistaken identity. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department described the shooting as gang-related and targeted and investigated accordingly. Witnesses reported multiple gunshots and saw the brothers collapse; a neighbor tried to render aid.

The county Board of Supervisors approved a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction, and the Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau asked anyone with tips to come forward through Crime Stoppers. Does anyone have information about the SUV or the shooting that could help bring justice for Larry?
