Carlos Sanchez Cruz, a 31-year-old Latino, was shot during an altercation in Panorama City, Los Angeles, on February 2, 2014, and died the next day. The confrontation began about 2:30 p.m. on the 9000 block of Tobias Avenue after a dispute over a $50 debt. A 17-year-old boy approached and shot Cruz point-blank in the head. Cruz was taken to a hospital, placed on life support, and pronounced dead at 3:15 p.m. the following day.

Gang officers who responded stopped a group at a nearby park and identified a 21-year-old gang member, Robert Chapman, as the man involved in the fight that preceded the shooting. The 17-year-old shooter was identified and arrested early on February 3, 2014; his name has not been released because of his age. Charges were brought against both males in connection with Cruz’s death.
