Mario Gavino Chavarria Jr., 36, was shot and killed in the driveway of his Paramount home on Olanda Street on November 20, 2016, at about 4 p.m. Two men approached him and spoke briefly before one pulled out a gun and opened fire. Chavarria was struck multiple times, collapsed at the scene, and was taken to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead at 4:37 p.m.

Investigators said the shooting may have been gang-related, but witnesses could not give detailed suspect descriptions, hindering identification. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Homicide Bureau has asked the public for information. Friends and family set up a fundraiser to help with funeral expenses, and Chavarria was described by those who knew him as a loving husband, father, and friend.

The case remains open with no arrests reported. If anyone has information about the shooting or the two men seen that afternoon, please come forward.
