Anthony Carlos, a 22-year-old Latino, was shot and killed on August 27, 2015, near La Calandria Drive and Lombardy Boulevard in El Sereno, Los Angeles. The coroner’s records place the shooting shortly before 3 p.m. Carlos was sitting in a white pickup truck stopped at an intersection when a dark-colored SUV pulled up behind him. After an exchange of words the gunman fired; Carlos tried to get out of the truck and was shot again. He was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead at 3:44 p.m.

Investigators identified 31-year-old Latino Fernando Ortiz as the suspect; witnesses led to his arrest the next day at an apartment in El Monte after an attempted flight. Ortiz was charged with one count of murder and one count of possession of a firearm by a felon and pleaded not guilty on September 16, 2015. The district attorney’s office pursued the charges and authorities asked the community for additional information, offering anonymity to tipsters.

Are there anyone who knew Anthony or who was in that area on August 27, 2015, with information that might help the case?
