Juan Chavez was 20 when he was found dead on a Los Angeles sidewalk on August 15, 2014. The coroner ruled his death a homicide caused by multiple gunshot wounds.

Investigators treated the killing as gang-related and the LAPD led an extensive probe, interviewing witnesses and collecting forensic evidence at the scene.

The defendants were tried on charges that included first-degree murder and gang enhancements; the jury returned guilty verdicts and the court imposed lengthy prison sentences. The case drew media attention and was framed in coverage as an example of the harms of gang violence in the community.

If anyone knew Juan, saw him on August 15, 2014, or has information that wasn’t part of the trial, please share what you remember.
