Julio Benicio Perez was a 25-year-old Latino man who was shot and killed in East Los Angeles on July 1, 2014, according to Los Angeles County coroner records. Reports state he was targeted in the shooting, but the motive has not been established.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department opened an investigation; no significant arrests or suspects have been publicly identified. Investigators have struggled to develop leads, and community reluctance to come forward has been cited as an obstacle.
