On May 11, 2024, at about 7:30 p.m., a shooting at Alameda Street and Washington Boulevard in the Central‑Alameda area of Los Angeles left two people dead and another critically injured. Twenty‑four‑year‑old Amanda Gallegos was pronounced dead at the scene and was identified by the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner as homeless. Thirty‑two‑year‑old William Lara died later at a local hospital. A man in his 30s was transported to the hospital with critical injuries.

The LAPD says four male suspects approached the victims and opened fire, striking all three. No arrests have been reported and the department is asking anyone with information to call 877‑LAPD‑247. Little else about the motive or the victims circumstances has been released.

Did anyone in the Central‑Alameda area see or hear something that night that could help investigators?
