A story for every victim

Luis Nevarres, 13

Luis Nevarres, 13, a Latino boy, was struck by a bullet in the 1100 block of East 73rd Street in Florence at about 2:45 p.m., and died at 3:24 p.m. Wednesday, June 20.

Luis was walking in an alley with a friend, another Latino male, at about 2:30 p.m. in the afternoon when a green SUV pulled up, and two Latino male suspects fired at them. Luis was hit in this possibly gang-motivated attack. He was transported to St. Francis hospital in Lynwood, where he was pronounced dead. The suspects are still outstanding.

"Rest in peace, Pelon" says the sign on the spot where he fell.
