Joseph Duarte was 18 when he was shot and killed on March 18, 2018, in the 800 block of Bay View Avenue in Wilmington, Los Angeles. Duarte was standing on the sidewalk with a friend, Cesar Gutierrez, when an unknown assailant approached and opened fire. Both young men were struck by multiple rounds. Duarte was taken to the hospital and pronounced dead at 2:42 p.m.; Gutierrez died 22 minutes later.

The shooter fled in a waiting vehicle. The Los Angeles Police Department opened a homicide investigation and asked the public for help identifying the shooter and the vehicle; Crime Stoppers was offered as an anonymous tip option. No arrests or publicly identified suspects have been reported and the case remains unsolved.

Does anyone who was in the Wilmington area that afternoon or who knew Joseph or Cesar have information that could help investigators?
