Puncho Eteuati, 34, was fatally shot on August 30, 2009, in Wilmington, Los Angeles. He was standing on the sidewalk in the 1300 block of Ronan Avenue speaking with relatives at about 10:30 p.m. after dropping family members off following a church service at First Samoan Full Gospel Pentecostal Church, which his father founded.

The Los Angeles County coroner’s records list multiple gunshot wounds to his upper body; Eteuati died about 90 minutes later at a local hospital. The motive remains unclear and investigators have not publicly identified suspects. Family describe him as a happy, positive family man who treated nieces and nephews as his own, and they continue to seek answers.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact the Los Angeles Police Department.
