Kevin was my nephew. He was a fine young man that would never say no to anyone. You could count on him to help or just to make you smile. The family is devastated. He leaves behind a 1 yr. old son, a grieving young wife, 2 brothers and a sister. His mother's heart is torn and will never be the same. We pray to God that the perpetrator is brought to justice so that noother family will suffer the pain that we are living.
He had so many plans. For the record, he was "NOT" a gang member. Please pray for us.

Kevin Lopez was a fine young man, never did any harm to anyone always smiling, laughing. Now he's gone we will never hear his voice or his laugh. Kevin had so much to live for , especially for his young family he adored his wife and baby boy of 13 months. I hope and pray to God that the person or persons who killed my son get caught and are brought to justice. I do not want his murder left unsolved like so many just because he was Latino. My son had no gang ties or any enemies . He was well loved by all his family, and friends .Kevin had just turned 23 nobody had the right to take his life away! I pray that these monsters get caught and put away forever.

Kevin Lopea 23years old was killed on Oct. 20 at 4:20 A.M. by multiple shots. Kevin my son leaves a wife and a young son of 13 months. He also leaves 4 brothers and 1 sister, lots of friends and family who loved him. Kevin was a wonderful young man, the person/persons who took his life away had no right to do so. He was a fun loving, hard working man just doing the best for his youn family. He had the most beautiful smile and wonderful laugh and now all that has been taken away from us. His brother Avri who was so close to him is so devastated by his murder. I hope and pray to God that his murder does not go unsolved like so many others. I pray that the perpertrators get caught and get what they deserve.

It's been a month since my son Kevin was murderd and it has been very hard to sleep at night knowing that his murder/murders are out there. It has been a nightmare. I still keep wishing it was just a bad dream and that he's going to walk in at night after work like he did many times before going home. I miss him so much every day is a struggle getting up to go to work and getting on with everyday life. I hope that his killers get what they deserve. My son was the most likable and loving person anyone could ever know.

It'a been 2 months since my sons murder and still nothing on the killer the detective hasn't even called to see how were doing. The holidays were misrable for all of us especially for me. Kevin loved all the holidays, he just loved life itself. I just hope that if someone knows something about that fateful morning please contact the Foothill Division. His murtder took place on Oct. 20,2007 at 4:oo a.m. on OMelveny and Kelowna St. someone in a gray chrysler 300 shot at him and his friends as they were about to leave to get a bite to eat. Now I know people talk among themselves and perhaps someone has bragged about what they've done,so please if anyone knows something please contact Detective Martinez at the Foothill Division. I would like to have some closure to this even though I know it will not bring my son back. His wife,son, and family miss him terribly.

Hello everyone. Kevin was my cousin. I can't put into words how much pain and anger I have. I’m sad and upset, to see his mom and sister in so much heartache, it breaks me. We hear of things like this, young good people dying for no reason. And we never give it a second thought. Never did it ever cross my mind that it would happen so close to home. That someone I love and care for is gone because of some asshole. Never did i think that it would happen to us. Everyone will read the articles about Kevin and it might make them sad but their lives will go on. But not us we are all still mourning him, and we will be forever. We all miss him so much. The world keeps turning yet we all feel so stuck, wanting closure and justice. And now what, what do we do. What can we do? All we do is cry and remember the good times and our lives are changed forever. We are left without a great person, I’m sorry for all those who missed out on knowing Kevin a funny and full of life man. I miss you KEVIN!!!!
With all this said I plead for anyone with any kind of information to please call
the Foothill Division

Read today's Los Angeles Daily News. A reporter wrote an article on Kevin Lopez. The article captures the person that Kevin was. Please contact LAPD's Foothill Division if you have any information.

Three months ago on october 20, 2007 at 4:20am on the corner of O"melveny and Kelowna in the city of Pacoima, my nephew Kevin Lopez was shot and murdered by some heartless,cold blooded ass-hole who in my opiniion is a coward and anyone who is with holding information it only makes you no better then the ass-hole who pulled the trigger and who has no consideration for my nephews life. I know that whoever did this to Kevin has bragged about what he did. Do you really think that taking the life of an innocent person is something to brag about? I don't!!!!. I know that someone knows something and if you do please do the right thing and give up the information,please call the Foothill Division in Pacioma. On Wednesday Jan 16, 2008 an article in the Daily News was written and posted on my nephew Kevin,if you read the article you would know just by reading the article that my nephew was a wonderfull person, son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin,uncle, husband, father and friend. Our family stilll mourns for Kevin and we always will, but we need closure, we need some answers. Think about it, what if this was your family going through this grief, would'nt you want justice to be served? My sister (Kevin's mother) is suffering, to see her cry and not smile or laugh anymore is heart breaking, to see his wife not being able to hold him or wake up to him is painfull, to see his brother's and his sister hurting and in pain is unbearable, to see his dad lost with him is agonizing, but to see his son Jordon waiting and looiking for his daddy to come home, lift him up on his shoulders and play with him,is excruciating. What is this sweet little boy going to do without his daddy? what willl we say when he asked, what happened to my daddy? what will he feel when he see's other little boys with thier daddy's? One thing's for sure we will always keep Kevin's memory alive. Jordon will know that his daddy was a great daddy and that he loved him with all his heart. So with all said, we ask that you look deep into your heart's and do the right thing, please call Detctive Martinez and give up any information. Please stop thie animal who killed Kevin from bragging about it or from doing it again. I know that it won't bring Kevin back, but justice will be served and this animal will never put another family in pain. Think about it what if this was your family, would'nt you want justice? We miss him so much. Kevin we love you and miss you, there is not a day that goes by that we don't cry for you, we think about you everyday, God bless you mijo. I love you, our Tia Sandy Avila Lallemand

Well it's April 9th and next Sunday the 20th will be 6 months that my little brother Kevin's life was taken away. I still can't believe this has happened to our family. It's very hard for all of us. Whoever killed my brother has changed all our lives. Holidays just don't feel the same anymore. My brother Kevin had a lot of hobbies(paintball shooting and playing the guitar). I was very proud of him when he learned to play the guitar on his own. I guess the hardest thing that we have to live with is knowing that the animal who took Kevin's life is still out there. 6 months and no news. I know it's very hard on my parents and especially his wife Jennifer and son Jordan. Not too long ago I saw a picture of my nephew Jordan holding a guitar and it hurts a lot because he'll never get the opportunity to learn how to play it from his dad. Excuse me if all of this doesn't make sense, but I just wish that the person that took Kevin away from us gets caught very soon. If anybody out there knows anything please,please ,please call the Foothill Police Station. 6 months have gone by and I miss you a lot Bro.

Well i'ts been six months since my son's murder and yet his killer is still out there perhaps, causing heartache to another family. I miss my son so much! It's hard to put up a front, to be strong. People see me laughing, smiling, and carrying on as if nothing but, deep down inside no one knows how I really feel. They don't know how many times I cry myself to sleep, or stop somewhere as I'm driving so that I can clear the tears from my eyes. Every thing reminds me of him, every song reminds me of him. Just a couple of weeks ago I had a dream about him and God knows I though it was so real. He was laying on a bed just as he was that fateful morning but he was alive and showing me his bruises on his leg, he said," look ma I got another bruise from skateboarding" and I said, " Oh Kevin not another one you have to be careful" and he laughed, then I started hugging him and kissing him and I remember clearly grabbing his face and holding him and I screamed out Kevin you're here ! you're here with us! and he looked at me and said, " No mom I'm gone" that's when I screamed and said no!no! no!no !I was crying so loud that I was awaken by my partner. The dream was so real and I know Kevin was with me. I think of that dream and I feel happy but at the same tiime I feel destroyed. Oh Lord how I wish this would end. I hope that some day the person /s who took my son from us will get what he/they deserve . I miss you my dear Kevin.
I love you! Mom

Well today is Father's Day, and it's tearing me apart because my little brother Kevin is not here with us. I wish I could just call him and say Happy Father's Day and hear his voice saying Happy Father's Day to you,too.Next week will be 8 months that Kevin was killed and still no word on his KILLER. Not only is it Father's Day today but it is also our Dad's birthday and I know that Kevin would have been the first one to wish our dad a Happy Birthday and my Dad will never gat to hear those words again from Kevin. I know I can't call my little brother now, but Kevin, I want to say Happy Father's Day and I know your watching over your son Jordan. Love little Bro'.

Tony Jr., Kristine, Oscar
This is the second time visiting this blog but I had not written anything until know. I am really sorry for Kevin's lost. I unfortunately did not have a chance to know Kevin as an adult, as a father, as a husband. I had a chance to catch up through pictures this past New Year's when your dad, my Uncle Tony, spent it with us in Phoenix. He brought Kevin's pictures with him, and kept one next to his bed on the night table; said he talks to him every day, every night before he goes to sleep. He also shared pics he kept in his email of Kevin, his son Jordan and his wife.
It is sad that he is gone, taken away by some irresponsible person who does not have or understand the sense and importance of a family. I feel sorry for the poor of spirit that think that by comitting such cowarldly crimes will win them anything. How vain.....
I can't believe just yesterday my mother spoke to Uncle Tony; he said he was doing fine and told her about the Father's Day March for Peace he had participated in and asked that we look for the article online; he said he had been interviewed and felt good that people were coming together to stop the violence. I did find the article.
You are all in my prayers. I truly hope for my uncle to get better, we all need him. My heart goes out to you.
Love from your cousin in Arizona...

I just want to make a plea to anyone out there who reads these blogs to please if you know anything about my son's murderer please please call the Foothill Division in San Fernando. Kevin was shot and killed on October 20, 2007 at about 3:30/ 4:00 a. m. on Saturday. He had just gotten in his so called friends SUV they were going to go get a bite to eat when they were shot at. His friends had just gotten back from a night of partying at Saddle Ranch in Universal City Walk and decided to come over to our neighborhood and talk to Kevin. Kevin rarely turned a friend down. I wished his friends would've continued about their business and had left Kevin with his family since he was in bed with his son Jordan of just 13 months. I hate David and Javier I can't stand to see them. Javier has no heart because he comes around in the SUV in which his friend was murderd in, God forgive me for feeling sooo much hate towards them and the gangster/s who took my son from me. Mother's Day and Father's Day came and went they were the worst days. On June 14 we had a peace walk against gang violence in memory of Kevin and all who have been taken through gang violence. It was a successful event hopefully some good will come of this. Unfortunately Kevin's dad passed away on June 24, 2008 but I will never forget how happy he was on June 14 the day of the peace walk and the reason is that we never imagined it would be as big as it turned out to be. Now he is with our son taking care of each other. This is why me and my family need all the help we can get in order to turn in the suspect /s in his murder. I'm sure gangs talk so someone out there knows something or even his so called friends know something that they arn't telling, but their conscious will get to them sooner or later because they cannot live with this on their minds. If they were really his friends they would talk no matter what ! I miss my son so much that it killing me and I know that is part of what killled his father he was so heart broken .

Today is a sad day. Today would have been my lil bro's 24th birthday. Instead his life pased after his 23rd birthday when a coward shot and killed him last year, not even a month after his birthday. That day burns in our minds daily and through God justice will be served. As we celebrate his life today by having cake at his resting place - his new home we remember the good times and the smiles that Kevin embedded in our heads. LOL wat a great brother, father, son, husband, grand-son, god-son, uncle and friend. HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEVIN YOU WILL FOREVER BE LOVED. Say Hi to dad for us as you two eat all the carne asada imaginable :) - OKIE

To all who knew my son Kevin you know how difficult it has been to live without him. It has been hell my heart just aches for him to see his bright smile, to hear him say hay ma, or to hear one of his corny jokes that always made me laugh even if I didn't get it. It has been 14 months since he was murdered. The holidays came and went not being the same. I visit his resting place every week because in a sense it gives me a sense of peace to know that he is with the Lord, but I pray to God that some day those bastards /bastard will get what he/they deserve. I'm sure you can sense the hatred in my heart and I know that those so called friends know something but are not willing to talk or are afraid to talk, but surely someday their day will come as well. Kevin, my beloved son someday justice will be served for Jordan's sake. He loves you I know because he said," I want to see daddy" the day him and Jen were talking about you.
Love you Kevin forever in my heart! Mom

On June 29th of 2009 our family will be participating in a Fathers Day Peace March against 'GANG VIOLENCE'. This will be our second annual march. My sister lost her 23yr old son Kevin (my nephew) he was murdered on Oct 20th of 07, he was not a gang member. He was a son, brother, nephew, grandson, husband, great father, cousin, uncle and best friend to all he came in contact with. But, he was also an innocent bystander. The police have not got whoever killed Kevin, we do hope that one day they do find the ass-hole who took Kevin away from us. Hopefully Kevin's killer is caught before our time is up. Kevin's dad Tony passed away in June of 08. we all know in our hearts that Kevin's passing took a big toll on his dad. I remember calling Tony on his birthday (today would have been Tony's 58th B-Day) I wished him a happy b-day and I asked him "what do you want for your b-day"? and he replied "all I want is for the police to catch whoever killed my son before I leave this world" Tony slipped into como that evening and never woke up. It was devastating to our family. This is way we are having this Peace March in memory of Kevin and other families who have lost loved ones to gang violence. If any of you would like to come out and show your support and march with us it would be great and our family and other families would greatly appreciate it . The march will began at 9am at David Gonzalez Park in the city of Pacoima and end at Hubert Humphery Park in the city of Pacoima. We hope to see you all there come and show your support. Lets stop the violence. We thank and God bles you all.
We love and miss you Kevin with all our hearts. Your son Jordon is getting so big and every day he reminds us of you. Say hello to your dad. We will find this person who took you away from us. I love you, your Tia Sandy

I would like to appologize I made an error on the date of the Fathers Day Peace March. I had posted that the day is June 29th the correct date is Saturday, June 20th of 2009. Same time and place. I do appologize for the error. Thank and God bless, we do hope to see everyone at the march.

Well it's been 2 yrs since my brother's death and the person that killed Kevin still haven't been caught.2 years have gone by and I miss the hell out of my brother. Jordan( Kevin's son) turned 3 years old last month and it just hurts to know that he will grow up not being with his dad. Of course we will try to give him as much information on his dad so that he will grow up to learn about Kevin. We will have memories of Kevin but Jordan will grow up not having any with his dad except for the pictures that were captured with the two of them. All I ask is for some closure, hoping that one day we will get a phone call and being told that his killer has been caught. KEVIN I MISS YOU AND I PRAY TO GOD THAT HE IS TAKING GOOD CARE OF YOU AND THAT YOU AND DAD ARE WATCHING OVER US. I LOVE YOU LIL' BRO.
