Omar Montes-Guerrero, a 24-year-old Latino, was shot and killed on March 8, 2014, in the 1000 block of South Willowbrook Avenue in Compton. Deputies responded to reports of gunshots around 8:48 p.m. and found Montes-Guerrero face-down on the sidewalk; he was pronounced dead at 9:06 p.m. by the coroner’s office.

Witnesses said two black males approached Montes-Guerrero from behind and opened fire. It is unclear whether Montes-Guerrero had any interaction with the men before the shooting. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Homicide Bureau handled the investigation but has reported few leads and no arrests; suspects remain unidentified.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Sheriff’s Department or Crime Stoppers; tips may be given anonymously. Did anyone in the community see something that night or know more about the two men seen approaching Montes-Guerrero?
