Jesus Nava, 23, was shot and killed on December 12, 2009, near 11th Street and Orange Avenue in Long Beach, California. Officers found Nava with a gunshot wound to the upper body around 11 p.m.; he was rushed to a local hospital but was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Initial inquiries treated the shooting as possibly gang-related, but investigators later found Nava had no known gang affiliations. Family and friends said he had no apparent reason to be targeted and was not involved in activities that would have made him a likely victim. No clear motive has been identified, and no arrests have been announced. Nava was the 34th shooting victim in Long Beach in 2009.

Anyone with information about the shooting or who was in that area that night is asked to come forward to help bring answers to the family.
