Jesus Isdioro Perez Jr., a 28-year-old Latino man, was shot and killed on the evening of March 22, 2021, near 1114 W. 131st St. in Compton, California. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner’s records list his death as a homicide; he was shot multiple times and died at the scene despite lifesaving attempts.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department investigated, canvassing the area, reviewing surveillance footage and interviewing witnesses. Detectives described the attack as targeted. No immediate arrests were made, and investigators later announced a reward for information leading to arrest and conviction as the case remained open.

The investigation has been hampered by few witnesses willing to testify and complexities tied to alleged gang-related circumstances. Anyone with information that could help resolve Perez’s murder is asked to contact the Sheriff’s Department.
