Died Jan. 24, 2012
John Doe No. 14, a 76-year-old black man, died Tuesday, Jan. 24, in the 1200 block of North State Street in Boyle Heights, according to Los Angeles County coroner's records.
Ed Winter, spokesman for the coroner's office, said Doe was pronounced dead at 9:25 a.m. at County USC Medical Center.
Authorities are still trying to identify the decedent.
Doe appears to have been shot in the leg in 1969, Winter said, and his injury may have contributed to his death.

How do they not know his identity, yet know his age? It's not like counting rings on a tree. How are they able to pinpoint a previous gunshot wound to 1969?
