Robert Corona

Robert Corona was a 19-year-old Hispanic man whose life was cut short in Los Angeles, California, in the late summer of 2021.

On the afternoon of Saturday, August 28, 2021, Corona was standing in front of a residence at 1742 E. 41st Place in South Los Angeles. At approximately 4:14 p.m., a vehicle drove up to where he was standing. Multiple shots were then fired from the vehicle, striking Corona in what authorities described as a drive-by shooting.

Paramedics were called to the scene and transported Corona to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead from his injuries. The suspect vehicle, which was believed to be carrying more than one person, fled after the attack.

The Los Angeles Police Department investigated the homicide and stated that they believed the shooting was gang-related. As of the last public updates in September 2021, no arrests had been announced and no suspects had been publicly identified. Robert Corona's murder remains unsolved.
