Antonio Banda, 23, was fatally shot inside a trailer at Westland Village Mobile Home Park in Compton on the night of July 9–10, 2017. Deputies arrived after a call about a gunshot victim around 12:18 a.m. and found Banda and a friend, Carlos Velasquez, both with gunshot wounds. Banda was pronounced dead at the scene at 12:33 a.m.; Velasquez was transported to a hospital and pronounced dead at 1:02 a.m.

Investigators report both men had some involvement with a local street gang and believe the killings were gang-related. The shooter was described as a Latino adult who fled west through the mobile home park. Despite public appeals and anonymous tips, no arrests have been made and the suspect’s identity remains unknown.

Anyone who knew Banda or Velasquez, or who has information about that night, is asked to contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau or Crime Stoppers with tips.
