Carlos Juvencio Gonzalez Jr. was 22 when he was fatally shot on January 23, 2001, in Wilmington, Los Angeles. Coroner’s records list multiple gunshot wounds, and investigators have treated the incident as a targeted attack.

The Los Angeles Police Department classifies the case as an open investigation. Despite several leads and tips over the years, there have been no arrests or suspects publicly named, and the lack of witnesses and concrete evidence has hampered progress.

Family members have taken part in community vigils and worked with local groups to raise awareness about gun violence while urging anyone with information to come forward.
