Marcelino Mark Chavez was 23 when he was shot and killed on September 1, 2018, at about 11:07 p.m. at a residence on the 11600 block of Nan Street in West Whittier-Los Nietos, California. Los Angeles County coroner’s records list the death as a shooting described by authorities as gang-related.

Investigators treated the case as connected to local gang activity and faced challenges because witnesses were reluctant to come forward. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department responded and opened an investigation, but no arrests had been made and no suspects were identified as of the latest information. Chavez’s family and community remember him as a young man with potential; they continue to seek answers.
