Fernando Gutierrez, 28, was one of three hostages killed during an eight-hour standoff at The Good Guys electronics store in Sacramento on April 4, 1991. Four Vietnamese gunmen had taken 41 hostages; a SWAT team’s final assault ended in heavy gunfire that left Gutierrez fatally wounded. He worked as a machine operator for the Campbell Soup Company and had been in the store with his two nieces when the incident began.

The Sacramento County Coroner, James Moore, reported that Gutierrez was found with a Sony Watchman TV set, a video recorder, several pieces of jewelry and a small bag of amphetamine powder concealed in his pants with a device reportedly used by shoplifters. The Sheriff’s Department opted not to file charges related to those items given the circumstances of his death. Three of the gunmen were killed; the sole surviving suspect, Loi Khac Nguyen, then 21, was arrested and charged with multiple crimes including murder and hostage-taking.

Did anyone who was at The Good Guys that day or anyone who knew Fernando have further details about his movements in the store or the moments leading up to the standoff?
