Justin Vaesna Uy, 18, was shot and later died after being found with multiple gunshot wounds near the corner of East 228th Street and Dolores Street in Carson, California. He left home to meet a friend; the friend discovered him on the sidewalk about 12:20 a.m. on April 12, 2016. Uy was taken to hospital on life support and pronounced dead on April 20, 2016.

Investigators said Uy had no gang ties or criminal history and there was no known motive. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department reported no witnesses or other information that would explain why he was shot. The Carson City Council approved a $20,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction, and authorities asked anyone with information to contact the Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau or Crime Stoppers.

Uy was described as a well-regarded student and a star volleyball player at Carson High School; his death shocked the community. If anyone has information about that night or Uy’s movements before he left home, please come forward.
