Miguel Diaz Duran Jr., a 25-year-old Latino man, was shot and killed in Huntington Park, California, on June 20, 2000. Coroner records list his death as a gunshot fatality that occurred during a postgame celebration of a Lakers victory. Reports say Miguel had been throwing up gang signs, which led to a confrontation with about 15 members of the Florencia gang.

Miguel and his girlfriend were chased down the side of a Rite Aid store, where multiple shots were fired; Miguel was killed and his girlfriend survived. Investigators treated the killing as gang-related and identified the Florencia gang as the primary suspects, but there were no immediate arrests and progress has been limited, with witnesses reluctant to come forward.

Are there readers who knew Miguel or who have information about the shooting that could help the investigation?
