Two cousins were killed in an early-morning shooting at a trailer in Whittier. On February 11, 2024, at about 1:07 a.m., officers found three men inside a trailer near an auto repair shop in the 8100 block of Byron Road; all three had multiple gunshot wounds. Rodrigo Perez Almodovar, 33, and Gabino Perez Martinez, 40, were pronounced dead at the scene. The third victim was taken to a hospital in critical condition.

Investigators say the victims lived in the trailer adjacent to the repair business where they worked. The motive is unclear and no suspects have been identified. The Whittier Police Department is asking anyone with information to call 562-567-9240 or submit anonymous tips to Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS.
