Pedro Antonio Rodriguez, a 36-year-old Latino, was shot and killed on April 18, 2014, in the Vermont Square neighborhood of Los Angeles. Coroner’s records say he was found bleeding inside the cab of a delivery truck around 7:30 a.m. in the 400 block of West 47th Place and was pronounced dead at the scene at 7:31 a.m.

The LAPD opened a homicide investigation after officers responded to a report of a strangely parked vehicle. Detectives Eddie Amaral and Miguel Gutierrez were assigned to the case; investigators determined Rodriguez had been shot multiple times. Early inquiries turned up few leads and no immediate suspects. Detectives explored possible motives including robbery or a personal dispute, and sporadic public tips provided occasional avenues for follow-up but no definitive breakthrough.

The family and community have pressingly sought answers as the case remains unsolved. If anyone has information about Rodriguez, his movements on April 18, 2014, or the delivery truck where he was found, please come forward.
