Juan A. Pineda, a 20-year-old Latino man, was fatally shot in Silver Lake, Los Angeles, on April 30, 1992. Coroner’s records list his death as a gunshot fatality, and the Los Angeles Times Homicide Report includes him among victims killed during the 1992 Los Angeles riots.

Pineda’s death occurred amid widespread looting, arson and violence that followed the acquittal of four LAPD officers in the Rodney King case. The chaotic conditions and the volume of incidents that day made identifying suspects and making arrests difficult, and specific details about arrests or charges connected to his killing are scarce.

Pineda is one of many whose deaths during the riots underscore the human cost of that unrest. Does anyone have information about Pineda, where he lived or who might have witnessed the shooting?
