Alfredo Morales, 26, a Latino man, was shot multiple times at 3654 E. Olympic Boulevard and died at 2:56 a.m. Friday, May 18. He was standing in a parking lot when a suspect came up on foot, shot in him the neck, and fled in a late 1980s Nissan. Morales was taken to County-USC hospital, where he died.

Update: LAPD Hollenbeck detectives have cleared this case. At least one Latino suspect was arrested. By chance, Morales and his friends had run into rival gang members while shopping at the Food-4-Less, and a confrontation preceded the shooting.
