Luis Angel Muñoz García, 25, was found shot to death in a narrow alley off 97th Street and Normandie Avenue in South Los Angeles on July 10, 2025. Deputies from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department responded just before late morning to the 1200 block of West 97th Street in the Vermont Vista area; the Medical Examiner later identified him and ruled the manner of death a homicide from gunshot wounds.

His family had reported him missing before learning he was the victim. He had turned 25 on July 6, and his sister’s online post for a funeral fundraiser described him as calm, funny, and full of light. Neighbors awoke to crime-scene tape; deputies canvassed for witnesses and asked the public for tips, but initial reports included no suspect description or clear motive and no arrests had been announced.

The case file at this stage records time, place, and cause while the investigation remains with homicide detectives. If anyone knew Luis, saw activity near 97th and Normandie on July 10, 2025, or has information that could help explain what happened in that alley, please come forward.
