Steve Fermin Cerda was 18 when he was fatally shot in Whittier, California, on June 23, 2015. The shooting happened about 11:20 p.m. in the 6100 block of Norwalk Boulevard, near his apartment complex. Cerda was standing outside with friends when an unidentified Latino male approached and opened fire; Cerda was hit multiple times, collapsed on the lawn, and was pronounced dead at 11:35 p.m. No one else was injured.

Investigators described the shooter as wearing a black hooded sweatshirt; witnesses said he fled on foot and left in a gray sedan. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department believes the attack was gang-related and may have been a case of mistaken identity, although Cerda and his friends were not known to be affiliated with any gang. No arrests have been announced and the Homicide Bureau is asking anyone with information to contact L.A. Regional Crime Stoppers.

Did anyone in the Whittier area see a gray sedan or a person in a black hoodie near Norwalk Boulevard that night?
