Felipe Hernandez was a 28-year-old Latino man who was fatally shot on April 2, 2015, in the Westlake area of Los Angeles. Coroner’s records list multiple gunshot wounds as the cause of death and the shooting was ruled a homicide.

The LAPD investigated by canvassing the neighborhood, interviewing witnesses and reviewing surveillance footage. Detectives named several persons of interest but made no immediate arrests. Investigators faced uncooperative witnesses and other obstacles, and the case grew cold over time; no major litigation followed.

The case remains an open homicide with investigators asking anyone who remembers events from that day or who has information to come forward.
