Manny Amaya, 24, was shot in North Long Beach on June 29, 2012, and died of his wounds the next day. The shooting happened around 7:30 p.m. near 67th Street and Butler Avenue when Amaya and another man were approached by a man on foot. After an exchange of words the suspect opened fire. Amaya was struck multiple times in both the upper and lower body; the other victim, a 30-year-old man, was shot in the lower body and survived.

Police described the attack as gang-related, though neither victim was believed to be involved in gang activity. The shooter fled in a car driven by an accomplice and no arrests have been announced.
