Cesar Mazariegos, a 30-year-old Latino man, was found dead on February 9, 2021, near Del Amo Boulevard and Santa Fe Road in Rancho Dominguez. His body was discovered rolled up inside a large carpet and showed signs of stabbing and blunt force trauma. Authorities pronounced him dead at the scene. The location was near a homeless encampment along the Compton Creek bed, an area that had seen increased patrols after a string of violent incidents.

Mazariegos was one of three people found murdered in that vicinity over an eight-month span; the others were Patricia Loeza, 26, and Kenneth Jones, 26. All three were believed to have been living in or near homeless encampments and sustained multiple stab wounds, with Jones also suffering blunt force trauma to the head. An arrest followed: on February 11, 2021, 56-year-old Tracy Walker was taken into custody at a nearby encampment and charged in the three killings, and he reportedly implicated himself to detectives.

Does anyone have information about Cesar’s movements or associates in Rancho Dominguez around February 2021?
