David Molina Jr., 35

David Molina Jr., a 35-year-old Latino, was shot and killed Tuesday, June 6, in the 1800 block of Johnston Street in Lincoln Heights, according to Los Angeles County coroner’s records.

About 2:53 p.m., Molina was standing alone on a sidewalk when a person walked up and shot him from behind, Los Angeles Police Det. Jose Ramirez said. Molina was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 3:07 p.m., according to coroner’s records.

The gunman ran south on Johnston Street and was described only as a male wearing dark clothing, Ramirez said, adding that he thinks Molina was targeted.

“They definitely knew who they were going after,” Ramirez said.
