German Lizarraga was 25 when he was fatally shot on September 7, 2002, in East Hollywood, Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Police Department handled the investigation, and the coroner’s records list the cause of death as a gunshot wound.

Details about suspects or arrests are scarce, and the case remains unsolved. The investigation reportedly faced a lack of witnesses and delays in forensic analysis, and the community’s reluctance to come forward has been described as complicating efforts to identify who was responsible.

German’s family and friends continue to mourn and hope for a breakthrough that could bring answers. If anyone has information about that night in East Hollywood or remembers seeing anything relevant on September 7, 2002, please come forward.
