Jesus Aleman was 22 when he was shot and killed in Wilmington, Los Angeles, on April 27, 2018. Coroner’s records list gunshot wounds as the cause; he died after being found late that night in a neighborhood with known gang activity. His death devastated family and neighbors.

Police later tied the shooting to members of the West Side Wilmas street gang. According to the investigation, Aleman was dropped off at a Wilmington location where he encountered Gerardo Perez and Juan Jose Bueno, known as Terror. Bueno allegedly confronted Aleman about gang affiliations and then shot him; Perez was present and was later charged as an accessory after the fact.

Bueno was convicted of second-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a felon, with the jury finding true gang enhancement allegations; Perez was convicted of being an accessory after the fact. Both appealed, contesting the gang enhancements and certain evidentiary rulings, but the convictions were upheld as of the last court developments described.

Did anyone who knew Jesus or saw him in Wilmington that night come forward with information?
