Raul Sanchez Jr., a 21-year-old Latino, was shot and killed on September 6, 2014, in the 5300 block of Valley Boulevard in the El Sereno neighborhood of Los Angeles. He and a woman were standing in front of a building about 12:20 a.m. when a light-colored midsize sedan approached. The right front passenger asked Sanchez about his gang affiliation, then opened fire, striking him multiple times. The vehicle fled eastbound on Valley Boulevard and Sanchez was pronounced dead at the scene at 12:30 a.m.

LAPD Hollenbeck Division detectives treated the shooting as likely gang-related, though it was unclear whether Sanchez himself had any gang ties. The shooter was described only as a man between 25 and 30 years old.

If anyone was in the 5300 block of Valley Boulevard that night or has information about the light-colored midsize sedan or the man described, please share what is known.
