Christian Henriquez, a 16-year-old Latino, was shot and killed on January 30, 2015, near 11210 South Figueroa Street in the Vermont Vista neighborhood of Los Angeles. The coroner’s records show the shooting happened shortly before 6 p.m.; Christian was pronounced dead at the scene at 5:46 p.m. He had been standing with an 18-year-old man when a Latino male described as 17 to 22 years old approached, spoke with them and then opened fire. The 18-year-old was also shot but survived.

Detectives from the LAPD Criminal Gang Homicide Division investigated and witnesses provided a description of the shooter, but no arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved. Christian’s family and community were deeply affected, and investigators have said reluctance to come forward has hampered the inquiry. Anyone with information is asked to contact the LAPD or Crime Stoppers.
