Jose Luis Ortiz was 30 when he was shot and killed on November 23, 2010, in the 200 block of North Chicago Street in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles. Coroner’s records list multiple gunshot wounds as the cause of death. The neighborhood’s known gang activity led investigators to consider a gang-related motive early in the inquiry.

Witnesses reported seeing a group flee the scene after gunfire, and nearby surveillance cameras were used to identify possible suspects. Detectives developed leads that pointed toward Ortiz being targeted because of alleged gang involvement; several people were questioned and raids were carried out as part of the probe.

If anyone knew Ortiz, saw activity on North Chicago Street that night, or has information about the people who fled, please share what is known with investigators.
