Ilan Hernandez, a 20-year-old Latino, died Tuesday, Sept. 27, a day after he was shot in the 1900 block of West Pico Boulevard in Pico-Union, according to Los Angeles County coroner's records.

Officers responded to a shooting call about 11:46 p.m. Monday, according to an LAPD news release. When police arrived, they found Hernandez on a sidewalk with a gunshot wound.

The victim was taken by paramedics to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead the next day, officials said. Coroner’s records show Hernandez died from a gunshot wound to the head.
