Jesus Romo Salinas was a 19-year-old Latino male who was shot to death on December 30, 2002, in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles. Coroner’s records list gunshot wounds as the cause; he was shot multiple times and died at the scene.

No arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced, and the case remained unsolved. Investigators have faced a lack of witnesses and difficulty gathering evidence. Salinas’s family and members of the community have held vigils and meetings urging anyone with information to come forward, and the Los Angeles Police Department has revisited the investigation occasionally in hopes of new leads or forensic advances.

Anyone who knew Jesus or has information about the shooting is asked to contact investigators. Do you have information that could help this case?
