Joseph Beau Lewis, 22, of San Pedro, California, was found dead July 29, 2011, at Abalone Cove Shoreline Park in Rancho Palos Verdes. Hikers discovered his body near trails to the ocean at about 10 p.m.; the Los Angeles County coroner recorded multiple gunshot wounds to his upper torso.

Lewis had last been seen by his mother, Roxanne Fizer, who gave him his paycheck before he got into the passenger seat of a black pickup driven by an unknown man. Two hours later his body was located. Fizer later identified 25-year-old Michael Muns, described in the case as a known gang member, as that driver; Muns was charged with murder and held on $2 million bail. Prosecutors presented DNA from a cigarette found at the scene and phone records tracing Muns’ movements from San Pedro to Rancho Palos Verdes.

Detectives never recovered a murder weapon and noted three sets of footprints around Lewis’ body, suggesting other people may have been present. His mother and family have pushed for answers; Lewis left three sisters and a daughter born after his death. Anyone with information is asked to come forward.
