Juan Portillo, 39, was fatally shot on October 11, 2023, at about 7:40 a.m. He was found unresponsive in an alley near the 2000 block of West Manchester Avenue in South Los Angeles and was pronounced dead at the scene.

A male suspect was arrested nearby shortly after the shooting, but authorities have not released the suspect’s identity or any information about a possible motive. The Los Angeles Police Department is investigating the circumstances of the killing and is asking community members with information to contact them. Portillo has been memorialized online by friends and family on pages honoring victims of gun violence.

Does anyone have information about Portillo’s movements that morning or who might have been in that alley before 7:40 a.m.?
