Ricardo Mohican Reyes was a 23-year-old Latino man who was shot and killed in Wilmington, Los Angeles, on April 19, 2002; the coroner’s office recorded his death the following day and classified it as a homicide. The shooting occurred in a neighborhood described as struggling with gang violence and criminal activity, and investigators faced reluctant witnesses, which hampered evidence-gathering and identification of suspects.

Despite LAPD appeals to the community, no arrests or publicly identified suspects have been reported and the investigation eventually went cold. The family was left without answers about who was responsible or why Reyes was targeted.

Anyone with information about Ricardo Mohican Reyes or the circumstances of the April 19, 2002 shooting is asked to come forward.
