Bryan Angel Tolentino was a 1-year-old Latino boy who was shot and killed on November 26, 2001, in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles. The Los Angeles County coroner’s records list the cause of death as a gunshot wound.

Police investigators describe Bryan as an innocent bystander who was caught in the crossfire of a gang-related shooting. No arrests or suspects have been identified, and the case remains unsolved. Investigators say a lack of witnesses and community fear of retaliation have hindered the inquiry, leaving the family without answers.

Bryan’s death is cited in discussions about gang and gun violence and its impact on children and vulnerable communities. If anyone has information that could help bring closure to Bryan’s family, please come forward to the Los Angeles Police Department.
