Henry Rodriguez Jr., 44, was shot and killed on June 2, 2007, in Boyle Heights. The shooting happened about 5:25 p.m. on 504 N. St. Louis Street in the LAPD Hollenbeck Division. Rodriguez was standing with a group of transients when a car pulled up and someone in the vehicle shouted Where you from? The verbal exchange quickly escalated into gunfire; Rodriguez was struck and later died at County‑USC Medical Center.

Investigators have described the shooting as likely gang-related. Progress on the case has been limited because witnesses were transient and reportedly fearful of gang retaliation, and no immediate arrests were made. The LAPD has continued to ask the public for information that could identify and apprehend the suspects. Does anyone have information about that evening or the people who may have been involved?
