Ramon Coporan-Lopez, 40, was shot to death in the early morning hours of October 11, 2009, on Milwaukee’s south side. The attack occurred shortly after 2:30 a.m. outside the La Espanola tavern at 2237 W. Forest Home Avenue; records also list him under the alias Jorge A. Espoda-Pillot. The killing took place in front of the bar’s entrance during the pre-dawn nightlife period along Forest Home Avenue.

La Espanola had faced municipal scrutiny earlier in 2009 when city officials moved not to renew its tavern license, and a judge briefly allowed it to continue operating past a January expiration.

If anyone saw activity outside La Espanola around 2:30 a.m. on October 11, 2009, or has information about Ramon Coporan-Lopez’s death, please come forward.
