George David Alvarado was an 18-year-old Latino male who was fatally shot on May 6, 2015, in Sun Valley, Los Angeles. Coroner’s records list multiple gunshot wounds; witnesses reported hearing shots and seeing a vehicle speed away from the scene.

LAPD investigators treated the shooting as a targeted attack and later identified several suspects believed to have gang affiliations. Police conducted raids and made arrests on charges that included illegal firearms possession and murder, while prosecutors relied on forensic evidence, witness testimony and surveillance footage. The investigation was hampered by a lack of immediate leads and witness reluctance to come forward.

Alvarado’s family attended hearings and participated in community outreach following his death. Does anyone in Sun Valley have information about the shooting or recall seeing a vehicle leave the area that night?
