Steven Ascencio, 18, was killed in a drive-by shooting on February 17, 2014, in the 1400 block of El Sereno Avenue in Pasadena. The shooting happened around 10 p.m.; Ascencio was struck by gunfire and pronounced dead at the scene. Two other teenagers were wounded and survived. Witnesses reported hearing gunfire and seeing a late-model white SUV in the area at the time.

Investigators said the attack was not believed to be random, but police had few immediate leads and no clear motive, and it was not established whether the shooting was gang-related, drug-related, or motivated by another factor. The community mourned at the scene in the days after the killing; Ascencio had attended Rose City High School and later an alternative education program. The Pasadena Police Department asked anyone with information to come forward.

Does anyone have information about the late-model white SUV or other details from that night that could help the investigation?
