Carlos Alberto Perez, a 38-year-old Latino man, was fatally shot on November 15, 2016, in the San Pedro neighborhood of Los Angeles County. The coroner’s records list his death as a gunshot fatality. Witnesses reported hearing gunfire and seeing a vehicle speed away from the scene, and detectives pursued those leads while investigating several possible motives.

Investigators examined potential links to local gang activity, but Perez reportedly had no known gang affiliations. Detectives also explored personal vendettas and the possibility of a random attack, yet no immediate suspects or clear motive were identified. The LAPD appealed to the public for information, offered a reward, and continued to follow tips amid reluctant witnesses and difficult neighborhood dynamics.

Does anyone who knew Carlos or who was in San Pedro that night have information that could help the investigation?
