Pedro Xochipa was 21 when he was fatally shot during a Fourth of July celebration in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles. The shooting happened around 11:30 p.m. on July 4, 2009, on Eagle Street after an argument at a late-night party. He was taken to USC Medical Center and pronounced dead at 1:30 a.m. the next day; the coroner listed a gunshot wound to the head as the cause of death.

The suspect fired and fled the scene immediately. Investigators have not identified or arrested anyone in connection with the killing, and authorities reported difficulty with witness cooperation. Motive remains unclear and it is not known whether the shooting was gang-related.

Does anyone who was in Boyle Heights that night or who knew Pedro have information that could help bring answers to his family?
