Edward Stefan Kislo was a 50-year-old Los Angeles Police Department detective when he was killed on August 23, 1992. Off duty at the time, Kislo went to investigate suspicious noises his neighbor, Fredricka Haymaker, heard in her backyard. An assailant hiding in the shrubbery shot him five times as he entered the yard. He was taken to Brothman Hospital and pronounced dead at 1:30 a.m.

The investigation determined Kislo was shot with a firearm of unknown type. A suspect was charged with first-degree murder. Kislo had served 18.5 years with the LAPD and was a U.S. Navy veteran; he left behind a 12-year-old son, Nicholas, his mother, and a sister. The department and community attended his funeral to honor his service.

If anyone knew Edward, Nicholas, or has information about the shooting that wasn’t public, please share what can help the case.
