Alfredo Morales was 26 when he was shot and killed in a Los Angeles parking lot on May 18, 2007. The late-night attack happened about 11:47 p.m. at 3654 E. Olympic Boulevard after Morales and friends had a confrontation with rival gang members while at a nearby Food-4-Less. A suspect approached on foot and shot Morales multiple times, including a fatal wound to the neck. He was taken to County-USC hospital and died at 2:56 a.m. the next day.

Investigators reported the shooter fled in a late 1980s Nissan. Hollenbeck detectives later cleared the case by arresting at least one Latino suspect connected to the shooting. The arrest offered some measure of closure for Morales’s family, though the community was left mourning.

If anyone was in the area that night or has information about the confrontation at the store, please share what you know.
