Guillermo Javier Huitron-Salas was 22 when he was shot and killed on June 5, 2010, in Wilmington, Los Angeles. He was attending a backyard party in the 1200 block of West D Street when he was struck by gunfire at about 11:50 a.m. and died less than an hour later. Coroner’s office spokesperson Ed Winter said Guillermo appeared to be an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire.

Friends and family described Guillermo as a caring, loving young man who had moved to Wilmington for work and was not involved in gang activities. The community reacted to his death as another painful example of gun violence’s impact on innocent people.
