Moises De Jesus Rodriguez was 20 when he was fatally shot in the Westlake neighborhood of Los Angeles on August 17, 2014. According to coroner’s records, he had just exited his apartment about 1:30 a.m. and was walking to a parked car to meet two female friends. As he approached, a black vehicle pulled up and someone inside opened fire. Rodriguez was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead at 3:40 a.m.; the two friends were unharmed.

The Rampart Division of the Los Angeles Police Department handled the investigation. No arrests or publicly identified suspects have been reported, and detectives asked anyone with information to contact them or provide anonymous tips through Crime Stoppers. Few witnesses and limited evidence have made identifying a motive or perpetrator difficult.

If anyone knew Moises, was in Westlake that night, or has information about a black vehicle near his apartment on August 17, 2014, please come forward.
