Joseph Gober Jr., 46, was shot and killed in the early morning hours of May 29, 2017, while walking in his San Pedro neighborhood on the 200 block of West Third Street. Coroner’s records state he was approached by one or more people who opened fire; it is unknown whether there was any exchange of words or other confrontation before the shooting. Neighbors called police after hearing gunshots and Gober was taken to a hospital, where he died that evening at 7:32 p.m.

Investigators say Gober was not affiliated with any gangs, though the block is known to be claimed by a gang, and detectives have considered the possibility the shooters were gang members. Detective Scott Coffee noted Gober often took morning walks and had a work-related injury. No arrests have been announced and the case remains open; anyone with information is asked to contact the LAPD or Crime Stoppers.

Did anyone in San Pedro see or hear anything that morning who hasn’t already spoken to investigators?
