Jose Manuel Gamiz De Leon, 26, was shot and killed while sitting in his vehicle on Blythe Street near Van Nuys Boulevard in Panorama City at about 7:10 p.m. on April 26, 2020. Two cars — described as a blue PT Cruiser and a tan Cadillac — approached his vehicle and an occupant of the PT Cruiser fired multiple rounds, fatally wounding him. A friend drove Jose to a hospital but he died shortly after arrival.

The Los Angeles Police Department has characterized the shooting as gang-related. Surveillance footage reportedly shows the two suspect vehicles approach before the attack, but police have not released that video or images publicly. The suspects fled the scene toward Van Nuys Boulevard.

Detectives are asking anyone with information to contact Detective Chris Campagna or use the anonymous tip lines provided by the LAPD. Did anyone in the Panorama City area see those vehicles or the shooting that evening?
