Alex Salas was a 29-year-old Latino man shot to death on October 14, 2006, in the Avocado Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles County. Coroner’s records list the cause of death as gunshot wounds; investigators report he was shot multiple times.

Authorities treated the killing as a targeted attack and said motive may have been personal or tied to disputes. The investigation encountered problems: few or no eyewitnesses, limited concrete leads, and community reluctance to come forward. Several suspects were identified and interviewed but no immediate arrests were announced.

The case remains open and family and friends continue to seek answers and justice. If anyone has information about Alex’s death or was in Avocado Heights on October 14, 2006, please come forward.
