Jordi Astudillo, a 22-year-old Latino, was shot and killed in the early morning of November 18, 2015, in the Vermont Square neighborhood of Los Angeles. The shooting happened in an alley in the 900 block of West 41st Street shortly before 5 a.m.; Astudillo was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead at 5:03 a.m. He was with another man when a car pulled up, a passenger got out and asked about their gang affiliation before opening fire.

The Los Angeles Police Department Criminal Gang Homicide Division led the investigation. Witnesses told police the suspect left in a light-colored sedan heading north toward West Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. No arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved; authorities have asked anyone with information to contact them or Crime Stoppers.

The circumstances point to a targeted attack that may be linked to gang affiliation, but many questions about motive and the shooter’s identity remain. Does anyone have information about that night, the vehicle, or the people involved?
