Fernando Lino Ortiz III, a 26-year-old Latino, was shot and killed on March 26, 2014, near East 8th Street and Marietta Street in Boyle Heights. Coroner’s records say Ortiz was walking through a two-story apartment complex with a woman about 3:10 p.m. when three people who were identified as members of the Eighth Street gang approached them and asked where he was from. After Ortiz said he was from Puente, the group briefly walked away, returned, and a teenage boy urged a gunman to fire; Ortiz was shot multiple times.

The assailants then took the woman’s cellphone and fled on foot. Two suspects — 25-year-old Soledad Hernandez and 16-year-old Juan Jose Juarez — were arrested and charged with murder, conspiracy, assault and second-degree robbery; a third suspect remained at large.

Does anyone who lived in Boyle Heights that day have information about the people involved or the events around East 8th and Marietta Street?
