Detectives are looking for additional victim after a man tricked elderly people into signing up for long-term solar panel lease agreements by using victims’ identities and forging their signatures, the Los Angeles Police Department said Thursday.
Detectives named Kevin Eduardo Cristofer Esperanza as the suspect, saying that he has targeted older people with limited computer literacy, especially Spanish speakers.
According to the LAPD, Esperanza would approach his victims, pretending to sell solar panels. While speaking with the elderly people, the suspect would convince them to provide personal information.

Investigators believe the crime happened between July 2021 and February 2022.
The LAPD urged anyone who knows a victim or who may have been victimized to contact Detective Juan Campos at 213-486-5995 or email [email protected].
