Alfredo Buenobaca, a 29-year-old Latino, was shot and killed in Compton on November 28, 2014. According to coroner’s records the shooting happened near East Elm Street and North Poinsettia Avenue while Buenobaca was crossing North Poinsettia. A dark-colored SUV pulled up, a person in the right front passenger seat exited and opened fire; Buenobaca was pronounced dead at the scene at 9:05 a.m. The SUV fled south on North Poinsettia Avenue.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has been investigating but says no witnesses have come forward; detectives believe witnesses may have been intimidated. Two of Buenobaca’s brothers were also victims of separate gang-related violence, and investigators are considering possible gang involvement. The case remains unsolved and no suspect identity has been released.

If anyone saw the SUV, the shooting, or has information about this case, please contact the Homicide Bureau or Crime Stoppers.
