Martin Casper Guitron, known as Casper, was 19 when he was shot eight times and killed on December 31, 2000, while walking with a friend near 15121 El Camino Avenue in Paramount, California. The attack was described as an act of violence that devastated the local community.

Alexander Torres was convicted of Guitron’s murder in 2001 and sentenced to 40 years to life. Torres lived in the same gang territory as Guitron and prosecutors pointed to a prolonged adversarial history between them. Torres has maintained his innocence.

The case later drew review by innocence advocates and the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Conviction Integrity Unit, which uncovered evidence pointing to two other individuals as the actual perpetrators and prompted further investigation. Has anyone with knowledge of the area or that night seen or heard anything that could help identify who shot Martin Guitron?
