Sergio Galvan, an 18-year-old Latino, was shot and killed on May 1, 2014, near Saticoy Street and Densmore Avenue in Van Nuys, Los Angeles. According to coroner’s records, he was walking along the street around 9:40 p.m. with two 32-year-old men when a person exited a green SUV, shouted a derogatory remark, and began firing. All three men were struck; the group ran to a nearby parking garage where Galvan collapsed and was pronounced dead at the scene at 10 p.m. The other two men were treated at local hospitals and later released.

Investigators described the shooting as likely gang-related, though a clear motive was not established and there were no immediate arrests or identified suspects. The LAPD urged anyone with information to come forward; the case remained unsolved with no significant breakthroughs reported and investigators cited a lack of willing witnesses and limited concrete evidence.

Did anyone in the Van Nuys area at the time see the green SUV or the people involved who might help move this case forward?
