Francisco Amaro Jr., a 30-year-old Latino, was shot and killed on Monday, April 10, in the 6600 block of Hereford Drive in East Los Angeles, according to Los Angeles County coroner’s records.

Amaro was pronounced dead at the scene at 8:45 p.m., according to coroner’s records.
Investigators don’t have any suspect information or a motive for the shooting, Mendoza said.
