David Cardiel, a 37-year-old Latino, was shot and killed on March 21, 2015, near Eastlake Avenue and George Street in the Lincoln Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles. The coroner’s records place the shooting shortly before 7 p.m.; Cardiel, driving a white SUV, stopped to speak with a man and was shot, then crashed into at least one parked car. He suffered multiple gunshot wounds to his face and body and was pronounced dead at the scene at 7:11 p.m.

Detectives identified 28-year-old Latino Hector Castillo as a suspect; he was arrested on suspicion of murder on August 14, 2015, and was charged with one count of murder and one count of shooting at an occupied vehicle. Prosecutors said physical evidence collected at the scene helped identify Castillo. Castillo pleaded not guilty and was due back in court on October 15, 2015.

Does anyone have additional information about Cardiel’s movements that evening or witnessed the stop near Eastlake and George Street?
