Juan Johnny Aguilar, 28, was shot and killed on November 22, 2015, after playing basketball with his brother Antonio at Ruben F. Salazar Park in East Los Angeles. Around 11 a.m. the brothers were approached by three people described as a heavyset Latino man, a heavyset Latina woman, and a Latino teenager. The man produced a handgun and fired multiple shots; Antonio was pronounced dead at the scene and Johnny died shortly after at a nearby hospital.

The park was busy that morning and investigators interviewed more than 50 witnesses. Witnesses said the assailants fled east to a parking lot near Ditman Avenue and left in two dark vehicles, a dark-colored SUV and a two-door dark-colored sedan, driving south on Ditman. Johnny Aguilar was reported to be a member of a local gang that frequented the park, but it was not confirmed whether the shooting was gang-related or whether the brothers knew the attackers.

Johnny left behind three young children; Antonio had a 9-month-old son. Does anyone who was at Salazar Park that morning or who knew the brothers have information that could help clarify what happened?
