Cesar Butron was 16 when he was fatally shot multiple times on September 9, 2008, in the 3200 block of 8th Street in Los Angeles. The shooting occurred around 11:15 a.m. on a Tuesday, and witnesses described the assailants as three to five Latino males. Cesar’s death happened in broad daylight and left his family and community grieving.

Detectives reported few solid leads early on, and investigators faced scarce evidence and limited cooperation from potential witnesses, which complicated identification of the shooters.

If anyone knew Cesar, was in the area that morning, or has information about the people seen at 8th Street on September 9, 2008, please come forward.
