Walter Crespo, 38, of Los Angeles was fatally shot in San Pedro on June 11, 2018, according to Los Angeles County coroner’s records. The shooting left his family grieving; he is remembered as a devoted father to two daughters and as a generous, protective presence in his community.

Details about the circumstances of the shooting are sparse in available reports. The Los Angeles Police Department opened an investigation, but information about arrests or identified suspects has not been prominently reported. Crespo had an unrelated 2007 arrest for attempted willful, deliberate, and premeditated murder; that prior case is not described as connected to the 2018 killing.

Anyone who knew Walter or has information about what happened in San Pedro on June 11, 2018, is asked to come forward.
