Luis Amela, 41, of Palmdale, was shot multiple times and died at a nearby hospital after an altercation on March 31, 2015, outside Sky Burgers in the 1800 block of East Palmdale Boulevard. The fight began when four people tried to steal his bicycle; the confrontation escalated and Amela was fatally wounded.

Two 17-year-old juveniles — a male and a female — were arrested on April 8, 2015, at an Arco gas station in Palmdale on suspicion of being accessories to the murder. They were booked at the Palmdale Sheriff’s Station and later appeared in Sylmar Juvenile Court. The primary shooter remained at large as of the last reported update, and witnesses described the assailants as gang members.

Anyone who was near East Palmdale Boulevard on the night of March 31, 2015, or who has information about the shooter is asked to come forward.
