Charlie Humberto Hernandez, a 30-year-old Latino male, died on February 27, 2022, in Florence-Firestone, California.

Law enforcement has been investigating the case. The Florence-Firestone neighborhood has documented gang activity, and the Florencia 13 (F13) gang was mentioned in connection with broader prosecutions. A federal grand jury later returned an indictment charging 37 members and associates of F13 with offenses including fentanyl trafficking, extortion and three murders; that operation produced arrests of 23 people and charged racketeering conspiracy under RICO for a range of crimes including murder and illegal firearms.

If anyone has information about Charlie Hernandez or his death, please share what is known with investigators.
