Nelva D. Hernandez, a 45-year-old Latina, was shot in the back of the head on March 29, 2014, in Exposition Park, Los Angeles and died a week later on April 5, 2014. Her family had been returning from a celebration and were parking when a dark-colored SUV stopped nearby, a man got out and fired at another person crossing the street. One round missed a toddler by inches and struck Hernandez, who was described as an innocent bystander.

The Los Angeles Police Department says the investigation has produced few leads despite door-to-door canvassing and searches for surveillance footage. Detectives believe the shooter may have been a gang member. Hernandez was a mother of two sons, Kevin and Elvin; her husband is Jose Antonio Hernandez and her sister is Blanca Ventura. The family has been holding nightly prayers, and a $50,000 reward has been offered for information leading to an arrest.

Are there witnesses or neighbors who recall that night in Exposition Park or who have surveillance footage that could help identify the SUV or the shooter?
