Carlos Martin Ortiz, a 44-year-old resident of Compton, California, was shot and killed while riding his bicycle along Santa Fe Avenue on June 9, 2015. Witnesses and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department report a dark-colored sedan approached, a passenger described as a black male exited and opened fire, striking Ortiz multiple times in the chest. Ortiz was pronounced dead at the scene at approximately 6:50 p.m.

Detectives released photos of Ortiz and video of a four-door 2008 black Audi A6 that matched the description of the vehicle seen near the scene moments before the shooting, but investigators have not confirmed it as the suspect car and no arrests have been announced. Ortiz was a father of four; his sister described him as a devoted parent. The case remains unsolved.

Anyone who witnessed the shooting or who has information about the vehicle or the passengers is asked to contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Homicide Bureau or Crime Stoppers anonymously.
