Jorge Carlos Cardona, a 25-year-old Latino, was shot and killed shortly after midnight on March 7, 2014, in the 8700 block of Bandera Street in the Florence-Firestone area of Los Angeles County. According to coroner’s records he was standing on the sidewalk when two sedans pulled up, occupants asked him where he was from, and before he could answer an assailant or assailants opened fire, striking him multiple times. Deputies found Cardona lying in the street after a call about a gunshot victim; he was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead at 6:43 p.m.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Homicide Bureau handled the investigation. Authorities did not immediately identify suspects or motives and asked anyone with information to contact them, including through anonymous tip numbers. Cardona’s family and the local community have expressed grief and frustration over the unsolved killing.

Are there details from that night or anyone who saw the two sedans that could help investigators?
