Nabor Galvez, a 24-year-old resident of Los Angeles, California, tragically lost his life on December 13, 2020. Nabor was ambushed and fatally shot in the backyard of his family's home in the Jefferson Park neighborhood of South Los Angeles. The incident occurred near 30th Street and 9th Avenue, where he was left to die on the pavement. Nabor had been returning home from his girlfriend's house when he was followed by a suspect vehicle, identified as a 2014-2019 model Mercedes-Benz CLA.
The vehicle was caught on video trailing him to his home, stopping at the intersection, and waiting. As Nabor parked his car and was about to enter his house, two men sprinted to the back of the house and fired multiple gunshots, leaving him mortally wounded.
The investigation into Nabor's murder has been ongoing, with the Los Angeles Police Department's South Bureau Homicide Division leading the efforts. Detective Christopher Moreno, who responded to the scene that night, has been working closely with the family and the community to gather information and find the perpetrators. Despite the efforts, the suspects remain at large, and the case has not yet been solved. The family has been vocal in their plea for justice, urging anyone with information to come forward and assist in identifying the killers.
Nabor's death has left a profound impact on his family and friends. His sister, Corina Galvez, described him as a caring and compassionate individual with many dreams and aspirations. The family's backyard, once a place of celebration and joy, has now become a site of their most traumatic memory. Nabor's father expressed the immense pain of seeing his son on the ground with bullet wounds, while his mother mourns the loss of her right-hand man at the family's flower shop in downtown LA.
The community has rallied around the Galvez family, offering support and solidarity in their quest for justice. The case remains open, and the LAPD continues to seek leads that could bring the suspects to justice. The family's hope is that by keeping Nabor's story in the public eye, they can eventually find closure and hold those responsible accountable for their actions.
