Jose Augusto Caceros, a 41-year-old Latino, was shot and killed on October 25, 2009, in Wilmington, Los Angeles. The shooting occurred about 1:15 a.m. as he climbed the steps to his girlfriend’s home in the 400 block of Gulf Avenue after delivering food. An unknown assailant approached and opened fire, then fled the scene. Caceros was taken to a nearby hospital and died shortly after arrival.

The Los Angeles Police Department assigned Detectives David Alvarez and David Cortez to the investigation. No arrests or suspects have been publicly identified, and the case remains unsolved. Investigators say the probe has been hindered by a lack of witnesses and concrete evidence, and the LAPD has appealed for anyone with information to come forward.

The killing devastated Caceros’s family and community. Does anyone who lived in Wilmington in 2009 remember seeing anything around Gulf Avenue that night or have information that could help bring justice?
