Francisco Solis was 27 when he was shot dead on July 1, 2001, in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles. Coroner’s records list multiple gunshot wounds, and the manner of death is homicide.

The neighborhood’s problems with gang violence are noted in the case history, and witnesses in this investigation were reportedly reluctant to come forward. Detectives say that lack of cooperation and fear of retaliation hindered evidence collection. The LAPD has revisited the file at times, but no arrests have been announced and the suspects remain at large.

The case remains unsolved and painful for Solis’s family and community. If anyone has information about Francisco Solis or his killing, please share what you know with the LAPD.
