Keith Douglas Shutt, 48, was shot while sitting in his car at 7755 E. Monroe St., Paramount, California, at about 6:13 p.m. on March 23, 2007. He was taken from the scene and pronounced dead at 7 p.m. that same evening. The shooting was described as sudden and unexpected and left family and friends grieving.

Investigators determined Shutt was a victim of a shooting but did not immediately identify a motive or a shooter. No arrests or suspects were reported at the time, and the case remained unsolved for years. Friends and relatives stayed engaged in seeking answers; one longtime acquaintance, Derek Duke Davilla, later pursued private investigator licensing with the stated hope of helping resolve the cold case.

Anyone with information about Keith Shutt’s death or who may have been near 7755 E. Monroe St. on March 23, 2007, is asked to come forward.
