Christian Javier Camacho was 17 and a high school senior from Sun Valley when he was shot dead at a house party on February 14, 2020. The party took place in the 13400 block of Rangoon Street in Arleta; an altercation escalated into gunfire and Camacho was shot multiple times and pronounced dead at the scene. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner ruled the cause of death as gunshot wounds.

Two other teenagers were wounded in the same shooting; their injuries were reported as not life-threatening. Witnesses said they heard at least ten gunshots. The suspected shooter, involved in the fight with Camacho, fled in a dark-colored vehicle with another male and a female. No arrests had been made and LAPD homicide detectives were asking the public for help.

Friends and family held a candlelight vigil in front of the home where he was killed. Camacho was remembered for helping his mother care for his younger brothers after their father’s recent death, and a GoFundMe set up for funeral expenses raised over $10,000.
