Bernard Luis Cordova, a 53-year-old Latino, was tragically shot and killed on May 19, 2018, in the Green Meadows neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. According to the Los Angeles County coroner’s records, the incident occurred at approximately 4:30 a.m. while Cordova was walking north on Towne Avenue. A vehicle, described only as a light-colored sedan, approached him, and an individual from the passenger side of the vehicle opened fire.
Cordova was found in the street by responding officers and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) launched an investigation to determine the motive behind the shooting. Despite efforts to gather information, including appeals to the public for tips, the case remains unsolved. The police have not identified any suspects or made any arrests in connection with Cordova's death. The lack of witnesses and the early morning timing of the incident have posed significant challenges to the investigation.
The community and Cordova's family have been deeply affected by his untimely death. The LAPD continues to encourage anyone with information to come forward, offering anonymity through Crime Stoppers. The case highlights the ongoing issue of gun violence in Los Angeles and the difficulties law enforcement faces in solving such crimes without community cooperation.
As of now, there have been no significant developments in terms of arrests, suspects, or litigation related to Bernard Luis Cordova's murder. The investigation remains open, and the LAPD continues to seek justice for Cordova and his family.
