Jeffrey Rithmony Keo, 26, was fatally shot near East 14th Street and Gundry Avenue in Long Beach on November 10, 2015. Long Beach officers found him lying in the street with gunshot wounds around 9 p.m.; he was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead at 10:27 p.m. The Long Beach Police Department secured the scene and launched a search for suspects after the initial suspect escaped.

Investigators determined Keo had no gang affiliation. A 17-year-old male, Jeffrey Carrasco, was charged with murder and second-degree robbery, with gun and gang enhancements, and was scheduled for arraignment November 30, 2015. In early December 2015 three more men were arrested: Angel Campo, 18, was arrested December 3 and later booked on an arrest warrant for Keo’s murder and arraigned December 7; Hector Montiel, 28, and Esteban Panchi, 19, were booked December 5. Each of the adult defendants was held on $2,000,000 bail.

The investigation involved Long Beach Homicide Detectives and other agencies and remained ongoing. If anyone has information about what happened that night, please come forward.
