Marvey Alofaituli, a 54-year-old Samoan man and Lakewood resident, was shot multiple times and killed on October 15, 2019, inside an illegal gambling establishment in the 200 block of East 10th Street in Long Beach. Officers arrived after a 3:45 a.m. call and found Alofaituli with severe gunshot wounds; he was taken to a hospital and later pronounced dead. Medical examiner records list multiple gunshot wounds to the upper body.

The suspect was identified as 23-year-old David Gonzalez of Norwalk. Reports say Gonzalez and Alofaituli fought while Gonzalez was engaged in illegal gambling; during the altercation Gonzalez produced a firearm and shot Alofaituli. Other patrons intervened, leaving Gonzalez and another person with minor injuries. Gonzalez was arrested at the scene and later charged with murder with a special circumstance allegation of committing the killing during a robbery, plus related weapons and robbery counts. Alofaituli was working as a security guard at the business and had recently become a grandfather.

Are there witnesses or anyone who can add detail about the events inside the establishment that night?
