David Peter Juarez, 31, of East Los Angeles, was shot and killed on June 28, 2019, in La Puente. The shooting happened about 10:35 p.m. near Winton Avenue and Gemini Street after Juarez and a 22-year-old friend left a party and were walking. A dark-colored sedan pulled up, two men got out and opened fire, striking both men in the upper torso. Juarez died at the scene; his friend survived with critical injuries and was taken to a hospital.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department opened a homicide investigation. Detectives have not released a detailed suspect description and no arrests have been announced. Authorities noted a blue Nissan Altima might have been involved and said the shooting was among several in the La Puente area around that time. The motive remains unclear and the investigation is ongoing.

Anyone with information about the shooting or the possible blue Nissan Altima is asked to contact the Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau or L.A. Regional Crime Stoppers.
