Why:
On October 14, 2007, at about 8:30 p.m., officers from the LAPD’s Northeast Community Police Station were summoned to the Silverlake intersection of West Sunset Boulevard and North Alvarado Street. At the scene, they discovered Lizano. He had apparently been approached by an unknown Hispanic male who shot him several times in what detectives believe was a gang-related murder. Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics attempted to provide medical assistance to the victim but were unable to save him. Shortly after 9:30 p.m., Lizano was pronounced dead.
Detectives and family members of the deceased hope that a $50,000 reward will be an added incentive for anyone with information to come forward.
